Opinion is divided on whether Kitui Governor Julius Malombe should seek re-election in 2027. Some argue that he should run again to fulfill his constitutional two-term limit in office, while others believe it would be a breach of the constitution for him to do so. Malombe's supporters argue that there is a constitutional grey area that allows him to run again, while opponents say there is no ambiguity in the constitution and the term limit for governors is two terms. Legal experts have differing opinions on the matter, with some suggesting that unless there is a concrete opinion from the Supreme Court, Malombe and other governors in similar situations could seek re-election. Former Kitui governor Charity Ngilu, who is planning a comeback in 2027, also believes there is no gap in the constitution regarding the term limit for governors. The article does not provide a specific date for the next election or the timeline for Malombe's current term. [46084ea6]
