Former Education Cabinet Secretary Ezekiel Machogu has hinted at a possible political partnership with Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leader Omingo Magara as he intensifies his campaign to unseat Kisii Governor Simba Arati in the 2027 General Election. Omingo Magara is a leader I respect and we have a shared vision for Kisii,” Machogu said. The remarks came as political activity surrounding the 2027 gubernatorial contest intensifies, with opposition leaders exploring possible alliances to avoid splitting the vote against the incumbent. Magara, a former South Mugirango MP and PDP leader, has previously expressed interest in the Kisii governorship. The 2027 gubernatorial contest has already attracted several high-profile aspirants.
