Nakuru Town West MP Samwel Arama is leading the race for the 2027 Nyamira gubernatorial seat. Arama has been popularizing his bid by sponsoring school fees for students from poor backgrounds and paying medical bills for those in need.
He has also been meeting with community leaders and church leaders to drum up support for his campaign.
Governor Amos Nyaribo, who is serving his first term, is also a strong contender. Nyaribo has been touting his record of development, including the construction of roads, schools, and hospitals.

He has also been meeting with residents to listen to their concerns and to promise to address them if he is re-elected.
Senator Okongo Omogeni is another contender who is considered to be a serious threat to Arama and Nyaribo.

He has also been critical of the current government’s performance, which he says has not done enough to improve the lives of the people of Nyamira.

The 2027 Nyamira gubernatorial race is expected to be closely contested. The five contenders are all experienced politicians with strong track records. It remains to be seen who will emerge victorious.
Key Factors to watch for in the race:
The popularity of Arama and Nyaribo. These two candidates are the frontrunners in the race, and it will be interesting to see how their popularity changes over time.
The performance of the current government. If the current government is seen to be doing a good job, it could help Nyaribo’s chances of re-election. However, if the government is seen to be doing a poor job, it could help Arama’s chances of winning.
The role of money in the race. Money is always a factor in Kenyan elections, and it will be interesting to see how much money each candidate spends on their campaign. Hon.Arama is widely known as a man with deep pockets and a heavy spender unlike Nyamira politicians.
The turnout of voters. The turnout of voters is often low in Kenyan elections, and it will be important for all candidates to mobilize their supporters to vote.
The 2027 Nyamira gubernatorial race is shaping up to be a close contest.
