Kitui County Assembly Budget Chair Hon. Zack Syengo is emerging as a strong contender for the Kitui East parliamentary seat, with growing calls from residents urging him to vie under the Wiper Democratic Movement ticket. His increasing popularity has positioned him as one of the most talked-about potential candidates ahead of the 2027 polls.
Syengo, widely described as down-to-earth and approachable, is said to have cultivated a deep connection with grassroots communities across the constituency. Supporters note that his leadership style, coupled with his experience in public finance and county legislation, places him in a strategic position to transition into national leadership as the area MP.
A broad coalition of supporters—including women groups, boda boda operators, teachers, professionals, and students—has rallied behind him, citing his strong network and consistent engagement with the people. As momentum builds, political observers say Syengo could become a key figure in shaping the race for Kitui East if he officially declares his candidature.
