There is power in reasoning and coming together. This morning I held fruitful discussions with all Uasin Gishu County MCAs over pertinent issues facing our great county of Uasin Gishu,” the legislator said.

The latest meeting affirms Sudi’s growing influence in the county’s political matters.

It’s only a few weeks ago that he declared he would support Governor Bii’s second term bid.

Speaking during a fundraiser at AIC Fellowship – Annex, Sudi asked Citizen Services Principal Secretary Prof Julius Bitok to shelve his gubernatorial ambitions for 2027.

But he also hinted at eyeing the seat in 2032.
