Nairobi residents will he lucky this time round to have an opportunity to elect their best when it comes to Nairobi Governor position.
Through a post on her Facebook account, Kagure did announce that she had held a high-level engagement with the Kikuyu Council of Elders at a time when the 2027 political contest is steadily taking shape.
City tycoon Agnes Kagure said the meeting brought together university student leaders drawn from the Nairobi–Mt. Kenya region, creating a rare intergenerational platform to discuss leadership, ideas and the future of the capital.
According to Kagure, the engagement went beyond politics and focused on substance, vision and long-term solutions for Nairobi.
“At the invitation of the Kikuyu Council of Elders, I had a meaningful engagement with university student leaders drawn from the Nairobi-Mt. Kenya region. What stood out from this engagement was the clarity of thought, ability to interrogate ideas and our shared concern for the future of Nairobi,” Kagure wrote.
“Seeing such preparedness and enthusiasm among young leaders gives me renewed confidence in our collective journey to reclaim Nairobi,” Agnes Kagure.
The meeting comes as Kagure continues to position herself as a serious contender in Nairobi politics, with her supporters pointing to a track record built on empowerment rather than handouts.
Unlike traditional political outreach, Kagure has consistently emphasised structured programmes aimed at uplifting small-scale business owners, women, the less fortunate and other marginalised groups within the city.
Her initiatives have focused on skills development, access to business opportunities and sustainable economic empowerment, particularly for informal traders and young entrepreneurs who form the backbone of Nairobi’s economy.
Allies say this approach has earned her credibility among grassroots communities who are increasingly demanding leaders with practical solutions instead of short-term political gestures.
The involvement of the Kikuyu Council of Elders is also seen as significant, as councils of elders continue to play an influential advisory role within communities, especially on matters of leadership, values and unity.
Observers note that Kagure’s engagement with elders and youth leaders signals a deliberate attempt to bridge experience and innovation as the city looks ahead to 2027.
As political temperatures rise, Kagure’s message remains centred on preparedness, inclusive growth and reclaiming Nairobi through people-focused leadership.
For many residents, her continued outreach and emphasis on empowerment programmes are shaping a narrative of a candidate seeking to win trust through action rather than promises alone.
