Former Nairobi County Chief Officer Geoffrey Mosiria has declared his readiness to become the capital’s next governor, insisting that the city requires a results-oriented administrator who prioritizes service delivery over political rhetoric.
Mosiria made the remarks following a high-level meeting with former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua and former Interior Cabinet Secretary Dr. Fred Matiang’i at Gachagua’s Karen residence on Wednesday, November 11, 2026.
In a statement issued after the consultations, Mosiria suggested that Gachagua had acknowledged his seriousness and dedication to transforming Nairobi, expressing strong confidence in his capacity to fix the county’s persistent challenges.
“Nairobi needs a more serious leader, a truthful man. Hadi Riggy G amekubali Nairobi Governor ni Mosiria! Niko ready kufanya kazi ya kufix Nairobi. Nairobi does not need a politician; it needs a worker, who is Mosiria. Siri ni Mosiria! Nairobi ni Mosiria!” he declared.
Mosiria’s declaration comes as political realignments gather pace ahead of the 2027 General Election, in which he aims to contest the Nairobi gubernatorial seat. Leveraging his background in county administration, he has increasingly used public engagements to position himself as a hands-on problem solver capable of overhauling service delivery in the capital.
His sit-down with Gachagua and Matiang’i forms part of broader consultations among key political figures shaping the country’s opposition landscape and Nairobi’s future leadership.
