Mombasa: Misi Mutua has been selected by the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) to be their flag bearer for Mumbuni North ward by-election slated for 27th November 2025. The unveiling of the candidate was held at Kisooni Catholic Church grounds in Mung'ala, Machakos County, spearheaded by the Mwala MP Vincent Kawaya, who also doubles up as the UDA National Organizing Secretary.
According to Kenya News Agency, the by-election will determine the successor to the Mumbuni North MCA seat, which was previously held by the late Gideon Kavuu of Maendeleo Chap Chap, who died in August of 2023. Kawaya urged the electorate to consider voting for Misi, who is affiliated with the ruling party, because he understands the needs of the people and the geography of the area, thus development will be a guarantee for Mumbuni residents. "UDA is the ruling party so do not be deceived by naysayers and voting for Misi will guarantee access to development projects in Mumbuni," said Kawaya.
While noting that the ward has remained without representation for over two years, Misi promised Mumbuni residents that he will deliver on the expected projects since he is well versed with the area and the challenges they were experiencing in education, youth empowerment, and infrastructure. "I am the right candidate for this ward, I am ready to work and deliver on all the paused projects that are long overdue, so that by 2027, we will have a smooth election and continue working together," added Misi.
It will be a tough race for the Mumbuni ward seat as UDA has fronted Misi, Wiper Patriotic Front (WPF) has selected Anthony Kasoi as its flag bearer, while Maendeleo Chap Chap has identified Harrison Wambua for the upcoming by-elections.
