Geoffrey Mosiria Wants Bishop Margaret Wanjiru as His Deputy in 2027 Nairobi Governor Race

Nairobi County Chief Officer Geoffrey Mosiria has thrown a political proposal Bishop Margaret Wanjiru’s way, asking the Jesus Is Alive Ministries founder to consider becoming his deputy as he prepares to contest the Nairobi gubernatorial seat in the 2027 General Election.

Mosiria made the proposal in a Facebook post on Sunday, October 11, 2026, after attending a church service at Jesus Is Alive Ministries alongside Jubilee Party leader Fred Matiang’i.

The county official said he had used the occasion to tell Nairobi residents that he had heard their calls for him to run for governor, while acknowledging that Wanjiru was also eyeing the county’s top seat.

“Yesterday, I joined H.E. Dr Fred Matiang’i, the Jubilee Party leader and United Opposition presidential candidate, at a church service at Jesus Is Alive Ministries, under Bishop Margaret Wanjiru. I took this chance to inform Nairobi residents that I have heard their call to serve them as the Governor of Nairobi,” he wrote.

Mosiria courts Wanjiru for running mate

While thanking Wanjiru for hosting them at the service, Mosiria said he believed God would ultimately determine who leads Nairobi. He also openly expressed his desire to have the bishop as his deputy if his gubernatorial bid succeeds.

“I know God has already chosen the leader of Nairobi, and I would love to have her as my deputy. I requested her to pray for me so that God can choose the leadership that will fix Nairobi, because Nairobi is a more serious city that needs a more serious leader, and Mr Fix It, Mr More Serious, and Mr Mosiria are that leader,” he wrote.

The proposal comes as both Mosiria and Wanjiru pursue political ambitions linked to Nairobi’s leadership ahead of the 2027 polls. Mosiria’s message suggests he is open to working with the bishop, even as she seeks the same position.

He said he had asked Wanjiru to pray for him and for God to guide the choice of leaders capable of addressing the capital’s challenges.

‘Mr Fix It’ pitches himself as Nairobi’s answer

Mosiria used the post to reinforce his campaign message, portraying himself as a candidate ready to tackle Nairobi’s persistent challenges.

Adopting the labels “Mr Fix It” and “Mr More Serious”, he argued that the capital needed a leader prepared to take its problems seriously.

“Nairobi is a more serious city that needs a more serious leader, and Mr Fix It, Mr More Serious, and Mr Mosiria are that leader,” he wrote.

Mosiria urges Nairobi residents to register as voters

The county official also urged residents to register as voters in Nairobi ahead of the next General Election, arguing that participation in the electoral process would help them choose leaders who understand the city’s needs.

“Ni uchungu sana kama huna kura Nairobi. Register as a voter in Nairobi and vote for a leader who understands Nairobi, not an investor who will give you money to buy your vote, then leave you to suffer for another five years,” Mosiria wrote.
