Agnes Ndung’u has become the first woman to join the race for Kiambu governor seat.

Ndung’u , who in 2018 was appointed to the board of Karuri municipality, said she will unveil her manifesto and political party “in coming months.” “I will be on the ballot paper for Kiambu County governorship. I have a lot to offer Kiambu residents and the new role would allow me to scale up transformative projects that I am undertaking at the grassroots,” she said.

“Kiambu County needs a leader who will deliver efficient and effective services for its people through a participatory approach.

That leader is Agnes Ndung’u.” Others running for the seat are incumbent James Nyoro, former governors Ferdinand Waititu and William Kabogo, Senator Kimani Wamatangi and Thika Town MP Patrick.

The Bachelor of Arts degree in Social Work and Administration graduate from Bugema University in Uganda, ran a charitable school programme that helped teenagers who dropped out of primary school to transit secondary school.

 She has also done consultancy jobs with the USAid under Blue Rhino Consult on leadership and youth governance.
