Mbooni MP Hon. Erastus Kivasu Nzioka is facing a political storm as the race for the Wiper Patriotic Front ticket gathers momentum ahead of the 2027 General Election.
Kivasu’s political camp is now under pressure amid expectations that the incumbent could have hoped for an easier route to the Wiper ticket. But with the party opening registration to aspirants, the contest is taking a different direction.
The emergence of Hon. Kioko Ngunga has further complicated the equation, with the two now potentially heading for a direct political showdown for the Wiper ticket.
The growing competition has triggered questions over Kivasu’s grassroots strength, with his rivals seeking to capitalize on what they portray as weakening support for the incumbent.
For Kivasu, the political comfort of incumbency appears to be giving way to a tougher reality: the Wiper ticket may have to be fought for, not simply expected.
As the Mbooni battle gathers pace, the pressure is now firmly on Kivasu to prove that he still commands the grassroots support needed to carry the Wiper flag into 2027.
