Former journalist Kobia Koome has joined the growing list of aspirants seeking elective positions in the 2027 General Election after announcing plans to contest for the Mikinduri Ward Member of County Assembly (MCA) seat in Tigania East, Meru County.
Kobia is seeking the National Economic Development Party (NEDP) ticket associated with former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko as he prepares to enter the political race.
Sonko in his social media post disclosed Kobia’s political ambitions in a Facebook post after hosting the aspirant for discussions on issues affecting residents of Meru County.
“I had the opportunity to host Hon. Kobia, our MCA aspirant for Mikinduri Ward Tigania east, Meru county. We had fruitful discussions on various issues affecting the people of Meru and the need for strategic servant leadership,”Sonko said.
The former governor said their meeting focused on the need for strategic leadership and addressing challenges facing local communities.
Kobia also presented Sonko with 200 digital Bibles, which he said were intended to support the spread of the Christian faith across communities.
Sonko welcomed the gesture and wished the aspirant well as he prepares to pursue the MCA seat.
