The long-serving legislator, who is serving his third term under the Wiper Democratic Movement, said he is prepared to take over from Governor Dr. Julius Makau Malombe and continue building on the county’s development agenda.
“Having served as MP for over a decade, I understand the challenges our people face. I’m now ready to serve Kitui at the executive level and deliver transformative leadership,” Dr. Mulu said.
His announcement has triggered political excitement across the county, with many viewing him as a frontrunner owing to his experience, development track record, and strong grassroots networks.
Dr. Mulu emphasized unity and issue-based politics as the cornerstone of his campaign, promising to unveil a people-centered manifesto in due course.
