FAI FAMILY CLOSES RANKS AS IT EYES WAJIR GUBERNATORIAL SEAT IN 2027
One of Wajir County's most formidable political dynasties is making its move.
The Fai family — vast in numbers, deep in talent, and rich in leadership pedigree — has thrown its full weight behind a united push for the Wajir gubernatorial seat in the 2027 general elections. In a powerful show of solidarity, the family convened a high-level meeting in Nairobi, bringing together political heavyweights, aspirants, and family representatives to chart a single, decisive path forward.
The message was clear: the Fais are not coming to participate they are coming to lead.
Through a structured and inclusive nomination framework, the family resolved to set aside individual ambitions in favour of collective purpose, with all aspirants formally committing to rally behind one consensus candidate to be unveiled by end of June 2026.
Seated at the table was a constellation of distinguished Fai leaders that few families in the region can match H.E. Mohamed Abdi Mohamud (Chairman and Political Caucus), Hon. Dr. Hassan Mohamed, Hon. Mohamed Elmi, Hon. Ugas Sheikh Mohamed, Hon. Hassan Wehliye, Hon. Issa Ahmed, Hon. Bash Gedi, Hon. Rashid Kassim, Dr. Kassim Bishar (Chairman, Fai Welfare Association), and Mohamed Osman(Chairman, Mediation Committee) alongside numerous family members and representatives.
This is a family that has produced leaders across generations and in 2027, it intends to reclaim its rightful place at the helm of county leadership. United, disciplined, and resolute, the Fais are gearing up for glory.
The county is watching. So is the competition. 💪🏽🔥
