Sifuna Told by Top DCP Leader Where He Must Go and Who He Must Work With to Become President

Cleophas Malala has said that Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna must build strong political ties with leaders from the Mount Kenya region if he hopes to become Kenya’s president, highlighting the importance of political alliances ahead of the 2027 General Election.

In remarks shared on Facebook, Malala said Sifuna’s presidential ambitions would require him to reach out to influential leaders from the region and work with them. He stressed that winning the presidency requires support beyond one’s traditional political strongholds.

“Ili Sifuna awe Rais ni lazima aende kule mlimani ashikane na hao watu,” Malala said, meaning Sifuna must go to Mount Kenya and join hands with those leaders to become president.

The remarks touch on one of the major questions facing politicians preparing for the 2027 elections: how to build alliances that can attract voters from different parts of the country.

Mount Kenya remains an important region in Kenya’s political calculations because of its large voting population. Support from the region could play a significant role in determining the outcome of the presidential contest.

For Sifuna, who represents Nairobi in the Senate, reaching out to leaders from other regions would be part of the wider task of building a national political following. His ability to work with different political groups could influence how far his ambitions go.

Malala’s comments also point to the challenges facing politicians who hope to compete for the country’s top seat. Beyond popularity in their home regions, presidential hopefuls need broad support and partnerships that can help them reach voters across the country.

However, the remarks alone do not establish whether Sifuna has agreed to pursue such an alliance or whether formal discussions with Mount Kenya leaders have taken place.

As political conversations around the 2027 elections continue, attention is likely to remain on possible partnerships and the leaders who could shape them. Whether Sifuna will seek support from the region remains to be seen, but Malala’s message places Mount Kenya firmly in the discussion about his presidential prospects.
