As Kenya gears up for its 2027 general elections, early political momentum is already building in Wajeer County, where two prominent figures are emerging as leading contenders for the Governor’s seat.
The two main candidates are:
• Adan Keynan Wehliye – A sitting Member of Parliament in the Kenyan National Assembly. Keynan is one of the most seasoned politicians from the Northeastern region and has held several influential political roles over the years.
• Mohamed Fai – A businessman and rising political figure who has quickly gained attention, especially among the youth and grassroots communities in Wajeer.
Preliminary reports indicate that this race is likely to be one of the most competitive in the county, with both candidates already holding public meetings and engaging in early campaign activities to mobilize support.
Observers note that the Wajeer gubernatorial contest will be closely watched, as it could signal a political shift in the region and influence broader dynamics ahead of the 2027 national polls.
