Kisumu Governor Prof Anyang' Nyong'o has issued a directive against early campaigning by officials in his administration, a move that has unsettled his allies who are eyeing various elective positions in the 2027 polls. Prof Nyong'o told the Nation on Thursday, November 3 that the campaigns were "early and unnecessary". Kisumu County has been a beehive of political activities, witnessing the 2027 campaign frenzy just a year after last year's general elections. Kisumu City Residents Voice (KICEREVO) chairman Audi Ogada had accused some leaders in the region of pursuing "selfish personal agendas" at the expense of the electorate. She said the 2027 campaign frenzy in the county could benefit their opponents, particularly those in the ruling United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party, to make inroads in the county, which should not be allowed.
