CPA Kimwele’s Rising Star Rattles Mulyungi as 2027 Race Heats Up

The growing political influence of CPA John Makau Kimwele in Mwingi Central has reportedly unsettled incumbent MP Gideon Mulyungi, triggering a wave of panic within his camp.

Instead of addressing the mounting challenge posed by Kimwele and other emerging competitors ahead of the 2027 general elections, the embattled MP has shifted focus to attacking Kitui Governor Dr. Julius Malombe — a move observers view as a diversionary tactic.

Kimwele’s steady grassroots mobilization and development-focused approach have increasingly won him support across Mwingi Central, setting the stage for a heated contest in the coming polls.
