Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi has dismissed claims that he plans to contest the Homa Bay gubernatorial seat in the 2027 elections, emphasising his focus on national leadership. Speaking on Tuesday, Mbadi reflected on his unsuccessful 2022 bid for the Homa Bay gubernatorial seat. “I was running for governor of Homa Bay in 2022. It will be foolish for me to go back to Homa Bay. Before his appointment to the Cabinet, Mbadi had built a long and distinguished career in Kenyan politics, earning a reputation as a seasoned legislator and party strategist.
