Hon. Hamida Ali Kibwana

ASPIRING: Senator –
Nairobi County
COUNTY: Nairobi

Hon. Hamida Ali Kibwana is a nominated Senator representing the Orange Democratic Movement with extensive experience in electoral management, political strategy and democratic governance. She chairs the Senate Standing Committee on Roads, Transportation and Housing and has formally declared her intention to run for the elective Nairobi County Senate seat in 2027.

My political agenda

Her 2027 manifesto focuses on urban infrastructure, youth mental health and structural gender equity:

  • Urban infrastructure and transport reforms to de-congest Nairobi; proper drainage, sanitation and clean water links in informal settlements
  • Oversight of the county executive on resource allocation, and advocacy for healthcare, mental wellness and intern protection
  • Funded, accessible counselling centres in all Nairobi sub-counties
  • Empowerment of youth and women, including the Mama Mboga and Jua Kali sectors, through implementation of the national Women’s Economic Empowerment Policy and low-interest county-backed credit for small-scale traders

She campaigns on an oversight-first platform, arguing that the Nairobi Senate seat demands structural checks on the county budget.
