Former Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria has announced Makadara Member of Parliament George Aladwa as his running mate for the 2027 Nairobi gubernatorial race. This unexpected pairing is one of the earliest political alliances ahead of Kenya's next General Election, signaling a potentially competitive contest against incumbent Governor Johnson Sakaja.

• Moses Kuria declared his primary motivation for choosing Aladwa was a "shared commitment to transforming Nairobi," emphasizing a non-ethnic and non-party affiliated approach.
• Kuria's candidacy was inspired by President William Ruto's public concerns over Nairobi's "deteriorating standards," specifically mentioning "rampant garbage, poor sanitation, and failing urban infrastructure."
• George Aladwa is described as an ODM stalwart, a former Nairobi Mayor, and a trusted political mobilizer for the late Raila Odinga, indicating a strategic cross-party appeal by Kuria.
