Kitui Women Eye 2027 Leadership Shift as Pamela Muthui Gains Momentum

As Kitui County gears up for the 2027 general elections, political dynamics are shifting, with fresh faces emerging to take up leadership roles. Among them is Pamela Muthui, the Corporate Affairs Manager at East African Portland Cement Company, whose name is increasingly being mentioned as a strong contender for the Kitui Woman Representative seat.

Muthui, an alumna of the University of Nairobi, has built a reputation as a climate change communicator and a staunch advocate for women’s resilience in Kenya and across Africa. With Hon. Irene Kasalu widely expected to contest the Kitui gubernatorial race in 2027, calls for Muthui to step into the women rep role have been growing.

Supporters describe her as a down-to-earth and pragmatic leader, well-positioned to champion the rights of Kitui women at the national level. They argue that Kitui needs a new brand of leadership—one that is productive, progressive, and committed to real change.

Muthui’s background in corporate governance, environmental advocacy, and grassroots engagement makes her a formidable candidate. If she heeds the calls to run, she could bring a fresh perspective to Kitui politics, aligning with the county’s aspirations for development and empowerment.

With the 2027 elections still two years away, the political landscape in Kitui remains fluid. However, Muthui’s potential candidacy is already stirring excitement among residents eager for leadership that prioritizes economic growth, climate resilience, and women’s empowerment.

As the election race unfolds, all eyes will be on Pamela Muthui and whether she will officially declare her bid to represent Kitui women in the National Assembly.
