That Agnes Kagure’s bid to become the Governor of Nairobi has resonated well with the locals is now an open secret.
Buoyed by her exemplary performance, integrity and service to Nairobians, Agnes Kagure has steadily strengthened her grassroots base as momentum quietly builds toward the 2027 contest.
In her latest engagement, Kagure met leaders of the Mbogi na Mama movement to review progress made so far and agree on the next steps. The meeting was not about fanfare.
It was about structure, numbers and strategy. Those present say the focus was clear: organise, mobilise and prepare to move ward by ward and estate by estate.
After the session, Kagure shared her optimism, saying, “I met leaders of the Mbogi na Mama movement to take stock of what’s done and chart the way forward. I’m encouraged by their structure and passion for accountable leadership, and also their unwavering belief in my candidature and shared vision for this city.”
Her words reflected a campaign that is leaning heavily on organisation rather than noise. She added that the team had committed itself fully to the journey ahead, noting that, “They are fully committed to walking this journey with me, ward by ward, estate by estate.”
Supporters who attended the meeting described the mood as focused and determined. Many believe the strength of the campaign lies in its coordination at the grassroots level. Unlike loosely connected political outfits, the Mbogi na Mama movement is building identifiable leadership structures in different parts of the city.
Kagure made it clear that the movement is about collective ownership of Nairobi’s future.
“The momentum is building, and together, we are shaping a leadership Nairobi can be proud of,” she said, before rallying supporters with a simple call: “Jiunge na Mbogi tulete mabadiliko.
Across estates and informal settlements, that message appears to be gaining ground. For many Nairobians who feel left out of decision making, the promise of accountable leadership and structured engagement is striking a chord.
As 2027 approaches, Kagure’s strategy seems less about dramatic declarations and more about steady groundwork. And if the growing confidence within her camp is anything to go by, the race for City Hall may be shaped long before the ballot is cast.
