KAJIADO 2027: KATOO RETURNS, ODM COLLAPSES, A NEW TITANIC BATTLE EMERGES:

The Kajiado gubernatorial race is rapidly shaping into a high-stakes showdown between two dominant political forces.

Former gubernatorial candidate and current State House Comptroller Dr. Katoo Ole Metito has stormed back into the race with a commanding 55.9% under the UDA banner, positioning himself as the clear frontrunner after narrowly losing to Governor Ole Lenku in 2022.

Facing him is current Kajiado Senator Samuel Seki, who enters the contest through the DCP ticket with 25.4%, emerging as the main opposition challenger.

Meanwhile, ODM — the party that delivered the governorship in 2022 — appears to have significantly weakened in Kajiado. Its candidate, Martin Moshisho, trails far behind at 2.6%, signaling a major collapse of ODM momentum within the county.

Mizani Africa Insight:
The data suggests Kajiado politics is undergoing a major realignment. Dr. Katoo’s return through UDA appears to have consolidated a broad support coalition, while DCP is emerging as the primary resistance force through Senator Seki.
The race is increasingly shifting away from a multi-candidate contest into a direct UDA vs DCP gubernatorial battle for control of Kajiado County
