In a cryptic Facebook post that has sent shockwaves across the political landscape, city tycoon and former Nairobi gubernatorial aspirant Agnes Kagure has delivered a veiled message amidst heightened speculations about her political ambitions ahead of the 2027 polls.
In the post, Kagure, known for her strategic maneuvers and business acumen, emphasized the critical role of belief in achieving success in any endeavor, whether it be a proposal, community project, or investment. “An important lesson I’ve learned over the years is the important place of belief in all we do.
“Be it a proposal, a community project, or an investment, you have to believe in its viability first, before others can buy into the idea and support it. I always have full confidence in my projects and I’d say that’s the reason they succeed and benefit many people. Try it and success will be your portion,” Kagure wrote.

As Nairobi residents brace themselves for what promises to be a fiercely contested election, Kagure’s enigmatic message serves as a prelude to what could be a dramatic and unpredictable political showdown in the coming years.
