Sabina Chege leaves elective politics, reveals her next move

By Peter Ochieng Murang'a County Women Representative Sabina Wanjiru Chege will not defend her seat in the upcoming August 09, 2022 general elections. The Women Representative will also not vie for any political seat. She made the announcement on social media pages on Saturday, April 23, 2022. "Finally the Holy Spirit has spoken, I will not be vying in any elective position in Murang'a County. I will concentrate with National politics in Azimio la Umoja Council," she posted on facebook. She is a member of the Azimio La Umoja One Kenya coalition council. Other members include president Uhuru Kenyatta, ODM party leader Raila Odinga, Wiper's Kalonzo Musyoka, Narc-Kenya's Martha Karua, Mombasa Governor Ali Hassan Joho, KANU chairman Gideon Moi, NARC leader Charity Ngilu, DAP-K party leader Wafula Wamunyinyi and Taveta MP Naomi Shaban, amongst others. Chege was elected Murang'a County Women Representative in 2013, before succesfully defending her position in 2017. Her supporters had hoped that she will defend her seat or join the Murang'a gubernatorial race. A section of those who reacted on her post wished her well, predicting that she will be handed the post of a Cabinet Secretary if Azimio forms the next government. "Our next cabinet secretary of Health. I salute you," said Stive Culture Otze. "Incoming CS foreign affairs... congratulations for your appointment," added Mark Junior George. However, others chided her running away from elective politics, because she had sensed defeat. "Thank you for accepting defeat... You sensed danger! Jobless contract now that you have....," chided one Alice Mwangi. Others went as further as claiming that she was destined to being nominated Raila Odinga's running in the Azimio formation.
