Presidential hopefuls for the 2027 General Elections are warned to approach the Mount Kenya voting bloc with caution due to its unique political dynamics. According to Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Youth League leader John Mark Ketorah and Mukurweini MP John Kaguchia, the region consistently records the highest voter turnout and is primarily driven by economic and development concerns.

• Mount Kenya is described as largely voting as a bloc, with high voter turnout.
• Mukurweini MP John Kaguchia highlighted that the region's voters are primarily influenced by economic and development issues.
• The region's shift towards William Ruto during former President Uhuru Kenyatta’s tenure after the 2018 handshake demonstrates its ability to revolt against perceived betrayal.
