From advocating for inclusive governance to amplifying the voices of women who have long been sidelined, Mbuthia has carved out a reputation as a leader who listens, engages and acts.
Rising grassroots appeal
In Kiambu, her popularity continues to soar as more residents resonate with her hands on leadership style. Youth groups see in her a leader who understands unemployment, exclusion and broken systems not as theories, but as daily realities that demand urgent solutions.
Women across the county have also found a strong ally in Mbuthia. Her fearless stand on gender equity and dignity has earned her admiration among mothers, professionals and young women seeking representation that goes beyond symbolism.
Most locals are now openly wondering when the next general election will be held, with many wishing it could come sooner, a clear sign of the momentum gathering behind her name.
Purpose driven leadership
Unlike conventional politics driven by popularity contests, Mbuthia has made it clear that her mission is about impact, not applause.
“I don’t enter spaces to be liked. I enter them to shift power, open doors, and make room for voices that were never meant to be heard,” Mbuthia said.
