Moses Kuria has announced his intention to run for the Nairobi gubernatorial seat in the 2027 General Election.
In an update, Kuria pledged to transform the city into a model of cleanliness and efficiency, referencing President William Ruto’s remarks on the state of Nairobi.
“Dear President William Ruto. Today you spoke to my heart. Like Prime Minister Baba Raila Amolo Odinga has told me countless times, Nairobi cannot continue to be the city of filth, garbage, and incompetence. I have heard your cry. That is why I will offer myself to be the Governor of the great County of Nairobi in 2027. I will fix Nairobi,” he noted.

Speaking on Sunday, President Ruto said he had discussed with Governor Johnson Sakaja the need to rejuvenate Nairobi through a comprehensive cleanup drive.
He affirmed that the national government, in collaboration with the county administration and private sector players, would work together to restore the city’s beauty and dignity.
Meanwhile, on Saturday, October 11, Moses Kuria hinted at aligning himself with former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s political faction.
He described Gachagua as the emerging Mt Kenya kingpin, crediting him for successfully uniting leaders from the region. Kuria said he would consider joining Gachagua’s camp in the near future.
However, he cautioned the DCP leader against undermining his growing influence through personal attacks, particularly on female politicians.
Kuria urged Gachagua to exercise restraint and demonstrate political maturity befitting his stature.
