Nominated Senator Karen Nyamu has announced plans to launch her campaign for the Nairobi Woman Representative seat in November as political activities begin gathering momentum ahead of the 2027 General Election.
Speaking during a media interview on Friday, October 23, 2026, Nyamu said she had deliberately held back from launching her campaign, explaining that timing was an important consideration in politics.
“I’m planning to start that in November. I’ve been holding. You know, in politics, timing is everything. You can get burnout very early before you start,” she said.
Nyamu explained that she wanted to begin her campaign gradually to avoid exhausting herself before the election period intensifies.
The planned launch will mark the beginning of her campaign activities as she seeks to win the Nairobi Woman Representative seat in the next General Election.
