Didmus Barasa Declares Gubernatorial Bid
As a committed leader and servant of the people of Bungoma County, this gubernatorial bid is founded on extensive consultations with residents across all constituencies. The voices of the people have shaped this manifesto, reflecting a shared desire for transformative, inclusive, and results-driven leadership. This campaign is anchored on delivering practical solutions to long-standing challenges while unlocking the county’s full potential.

Aligned with the development agenda of the national government and the vision of the United Democratic Alliance (UDA), this administration will prioritize service delivery, economic empowerment, and infrastructure development. The goal is to build a county government that works efficiently, transparently, and in partnership with its people.

A key priority under this leadership will be the transformation of the healthcare sector. Many residents are currently forced to travel long distances to access specialized medical services. This administration will ensure that major health facilities across the county are equipped with modern diagnostic equipment, including CT scan machines and other essential technologies, to provide quality and affordable healthcare within the county. This will not only save lives but also reduce the financial burden on families.

In the education sector, the administration will build on proven development approaches by investing in school infrastructure, supporting learners, and improving access to quality education. Successful initiatives implemented at the constituency level will be scaled up to benefit the entire county, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to succeed regardless of their background.

This leadership also recognizes the importance of grassroots engagement and inclusive governance. Continuous public participation will be a cornerstone of decision-making, ensuring that development projects reflect the real needs and priorities of the people. Through regular consultations, town hall meetings, and ward-level engagements, citizens will remain at the center of governance.

The 2027 gubernatorial race is expected to be competitive, featuring strong candidates such as Didmus Barasa and Tim Wanyonyi. However, this campaign stands out by offering a clear, actionable, and people-centered development agenda that prioritizes tangible results over rhetoric.

Ultimately, this manifesto represents a commitment to a new chapter for Bungoma County—one defined by visionary leadership, accountable governance, and sustainable development. With the right leadership, Bungoma will become a model county where opportunities are expanded, services are accessible, and every resident can thrive.
