Channel 15 News – Digital Poll Results Set Political Tongues Wagging
In what is shaping up to be a political revolution in Kitui Central, Dr. Augustus Kyalo Muli, the National Liberal Party (NLP) flagbearer, has emerged as the frontrunner in the 2027 MP race, according to a Channel 15 News digital poll that stunned political observers.
The 24-hour poll, conducted online by Channel 15 News, saw Dr. Muli clinch 731 votes, outperforming State House Director of Coordination Boniface Musambi, who garnered 623 votes. Other candidates, including Mr. Crispus Ileli, Hon. Christopher Nzilu, and Mr. Henry Malonza Kituti, trailed with less than 20 votes each.
Champion of the People, Not the Powerful
Dr. Muli is no political lightweight. As National Patron of the Anzauni Community and Founder of Kyalo Kya Maendeleo, he has been a unifying figure and a progressive force in Kitui politics. His vision is not just talk — it’s visible across the constituency through action.
One of his most transformative initiatives is the basketry weaving empowerment program, a hands-on economic empowerment project that has impacted women across every corner of Kitui Central and beyond. The program, which blends cultural heritage with economic liberation, has enabled hundreds of women to become self-reliant and has opened up new markets for traditional crafts.
The Brain Behind Real Change
Beyond grassroots empowerment, Dr. Muli has a rich background in policy, governance, and development. He has served as a consultant and advisor on devolution, was involved in drafting revenue allocation frameworks, and continues to advocate for transparency and accountability in public service.
His leadership model is anchored on inclusivity, youth empowerment, women’s advancement, and economic self-sufficiency — a model that is now bearing fruit.
A Tectonic Shift in Kitui Central?
The results of this poll signal more than popularity — they represent a growing hunger for leadership that delivers. While some lean on political titles and proximity to power, Dr. Muli’s lead reflects a reputation built over time, through sweat, sacrifice, and sincere service.
“This is not just a poll win; it’s a vote of confidence from the people who have seen what true leadership looks like,” said a Kyalo Kya Maendeleo coordinator in Miambani.
As the 2027 race begins to take shape, Dr. Augustus Muli is proving that politics isn’t about noise or connections — it’s about impact.
Kitui Central has spoken. And they want Muli.
