Kasarani MP Ronald Karauri has officially declared his candidacy for Nairobi governor in the 2027 General Election, citing leadership as the city's biggest problem. "The problem with this Nairobi is leadership, not anything else," Karauri said, emphasizing his commitment to improving basic services like garbage collection, county roads, and water supply.

Karauri, a businessman and former pilot, believes Nairobi has enough resources to deliver better services if managed well. He promises residents won't cry over small issues if elected, highlighting his experience pushing agencies to address public complaints. Karauri's declaration adds to the growing list of potential contenders, including Embakasi East MP Babu Owino and former Trade Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria.

Karauri's candidacy comes amid debates on Nairobi's governance, particularly after President William Ruto and Governor Johnson Sakaja signed a cooperation agreement granting the national government financial and operational control over key city services.
