Top Politician Retires From Politics Ahead of 2027, Vows to Rally Kamba Community Behind Ruto

On Sunday, as reported by one of the media houses, a top politician from the Kamba community publicly announced that he has retired from active politics.

The veteran leader made it clear that he will not vie for any political seat in the 2027 General Election. 

His announcement came as a surprise to many people, especially those who have followed his long journey in Kenyan politics.

He said that after careful thinking, he decided it was time to step aside and allow others to take leadership roles as the country prepares for the next elections.

According to the report, the politician had earlier shown interest in vying for the Kitui governor seat in 2027. For months, many residents believed that he would be among the key contenders in the race.

His sudden decision to drop the ambition and retire completely from elective politics therefore left many supporters and political observers in shock.

Some of his followers had already started preparing and mobilizing support, making the announcement even more unexpected.

In a statement the former Kitui senator made, he vowed to lead the Kamba community to President William Ruto. 

He said that backing the current president would help the community benefit more from the national government.

David Mosila explained that working with the government of the day was important for development, saying roads, schools, water projects, and other services come faster to communities that are aligned with the ruling administration.

“If we support the government, our people will benefit in many ways,” he said.

He also accused Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka of allegedly inciting the Kamba community not to support President Ruto.

The former senator claimed that such advice was misleading and could leave the region politically isolated.

He insisted that his community should always be close to the government, regardless of who is in power.

“Our community must always be in government so that our voices can be heard and our issues addressed,” he stated.

He urged leaders to put the interests of the people first instead of focusing on personal or party differences.
