Former Dawa ya Nairobi- Dr. Evans Kidero to run for Homa-bay County Governor 2022.
It was speculation. It was hearsay but eventually, it has been confirmed to www.goodmorningkenya.com by inner sources that the former first capital city Governor, is heading to his native county for the 2022 Gubernatorial election.
The once-powerful, flamboyant, and the creator of Pesa-OTAs slogan, has faithfully succumbed to a painful decision to leave murky city politics and head to the native county politics of Homa-bay. It’s said, the former Governor of 047 has had to make such a painful decision due to uncertainty prevalent at the moment in Nairobi county politics.
As it stands now, no serious contender would want to put his money in the troubled Nairobi politics as the city leadership is torn between the secret leadership of NMS and the buoyant leadership of the current Governor. The public drama, the unceasing struggle for control of the Nairobi county between the opposing sides is not inspiring confidence or certainty as to who would be the next governor.
It’s due to these reasons that the former county governor is descending into Homa-bay county politics. Sources from Homa-bay county have intimated to www.goodmorningkenya.com that, the decision by the former Governor to enter into homa-bay politics has already caused political shivers and jittery among local politicians who were eying to replace the out-going governor, Mr. Awiti.
The other hopefuls who were in slumberland hoping that when 2022 arrives, they could have already established a fertile ground for succeeding the incumbent, their hopes are now thwarted as the former city governor is known for deep pockets and generosity. Dr. Evans Kidero is a deep well and when it is time to consolidate a good strategy for a campaign, trust you me, he is the kind of a person you will not wish to face on a campaign trail.
He can make you spend your entire savings and still buy you out as a campaign poster for himself. This man is known for oiling the campaign machinery, he knows how to intimidate opponents with sleek greased campaign tools. He is known to run opponents down. It is believed he never lost in Nairobi in 2017, power was taken from him.
There is no way he was beaten. that’s a debate for next time. But for now, Dr. Evans Kidero, the former Dawa ya Nairobi is the next big talk in Hama-bay county and the entire Luo-Nyanza politics. he has an ability to dominate the headlines and news- and in the coming days, let his opponents prepare for an epic battle. His first activity is slated for this weekend.
