Former Mutito Constituency MP and former Ambassador to Turkey, Amb. Julius Kiema Kilonzo, has officially declared his intention to vie for the Kitui East Member of Parliament seat in the 2027 General Election on a Wiper Patriotic Front ticket.
Kiema’s entry sets the stage for a high stakes political showdown against the incumbent, UDA’s Nimrod Mbithuka Mbai, who is currently serving his second term.

Confident and combative, Kiema has vowed to send the UDA brigade packing in 2027, arguing that Kitui East deserves seasoned leadership anchored in experience, delivery, and dignity not bravado.
Political observers are already billing this as the most anticipated parliamentary contest in Kitui County, driven largely by Mbai’s trademark chest-thumping style and Kiema’s reputation as a tested public servant with both local roots and international exposure.

As the battle lines begin to form, one thing is clear, Kitui East is headed for a bruising, bare-knucle contest.
