In a surprising twist in Kajiado county politics,  Former Kajiado North Mp Hon Joseph Manje who has been playing National politics for several years is now facing mounting pressure from his electorate to make a comeback.

Manje , once a powerful figure in Kajiado county political landscape, has been urged by his supporters to reconsider his decision and re-enter the political scene, as they believe his leadership is urgently needed in the face of growing challenges.

The calls for his return come amid increasing dissatisfaction with the current political leadership, with many in his constituency voicing concerns over issues such as corruption, poor governance, and stalled development projects.

Hon Manje, whose reputation for integrity and commitment to his people was well-established during his tenure, is seen as a symbol of hope for many who feel abandoned by the current administration.

Local leaders and civil society organizations have also joined in the plea, suggesting that his return could help revitalize the political discourse and restore trust in the government.

“We need a leader who understands our struggles and is willing to fight for us. He was always in touch with the people, and his absence has been felt deeply,” said a Mr Erick Otumwa Mulembe chair  from Kajiado North constituency.

While some political analysts believe that the calls are driven by nostalgia, others argue that the Hon Manje re-entry could bring stability to a region in need of strong leadership.

However, Manje as remained firm on his early  retirement decision, stating that he is now focused on other pursuits and has no intention of returning to the political arena.

Despite this, the pressure from his supporters shows no sign of easing, with many continuing to organize rallies and petitions urging him to reconsider.

As the debate rages on, the Kajiado county residents  are watching closely to see whether this former leader will heed the call of his people or continue with his decision to stay out of the limelight.

In a county where political loyalties often run deep, the outcome of this story could have wider implications for the future of Kajiado county politics and the role of former leaders in shaping the county’s direction.
