Beatrice Adagala throws herself into the ring for Vihiga gubernatorial contest
Vihiga Woman Representative Beatrice Adagala has taken her two-term crusade to Luanda Constituency to drum up support for President William Ruto and her 2027 gubernatorial bid.
Speaking during an empowerment forum on Saturday, May 30, 2026, Adagala urged Luanda voters to choose development and service delivery and ignore “one term slogans” from the opposition.

“Luanda people must vote for development, not slogans. Look at what we have delivered,” Adagala told residents.
She said Luanda is among the greatest beneficiaries of President Ruto’s government, citing the modern Luanda market that is nearing completion, tarmacked roads, and youth and women empowerment programs.
“President Ruto has considered Vihiga most in terms of development compared to past presidents,” she said.
Gubernatorial bid
Adagala asked the electorate to back her governor bid, branding herself as a game changer for the county. She promised to streamline what she termed the “mess” left by the previous governors.
“We had the first governor as a man. We have the second governor again and a man. I want to become your first woman governor to transform the county,” Adagala said.

She reminded voters of her political record, saying her two terms as Woman Rep give her an edge over rivals.
“I have served you two terms consecutively and that is why I say I have experience over my opponents in the governor race,” she added.
Popularising Kenya Kwanza
Adagala appealed to women to rally behind her candidacy so they can enjoy the fruits of devolution.
Adagala vowed to continue popularising the Kenya Kwanza agenda in Vihiga, maintaining that only continuity in leadership would guarantee ongoing projects are completed.
Her Luanda tour is part of a county-wide drive to consolidate support ahead of 2027.
The Woman Rep spoke while issuing empowerment funds from the National Government Affirmative Action Fund (NGAAF) to women and youth groups in Luanda Sub-county.
She said the funds are meant to boost small businesses and table banking, urging beneficiaries to invest wisely for economic.
