Lulu Hassan Signals Major Move After Latest Opinion Poll Shows Most Preferred Presidential Candidate

Citizen TV news anchor Lulu Hassan signals a possible entry into politics after attending a meeting between President William Ruto and broad-based government leaders at State House, Mombasa, on Thursday, November 12.

Lulu, who has been linked to the Mvita parliamentary seat ahead of the 2027 General Election, was captured addressing leaders during the gathering, adding to speculation that she could join Ruto’s political camp.

She is reportedly being considered by the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) as its preferred candidate for Mvita, where she could face incumbent ODM MP Mohammed Soud Machele. However, the party has not officially confirmed the reports.

Speculation about her political ambitions dates back to May 2025, when branded T-shirts and reflector jackets bearing the slogan “Lulu Hassan, Mama Mvita” circulated online.

Several Royal Media Services journalists are also eyeing elective positions. John Wanyama resigned in August to contest Malava, while Trevor Ombija is linked to Nyakach and Stephen Letoo to Kilgoris. Others include Tina Ogal, Willis Raburu and Michael Njenga, who are associated with Embakasi East, Kisumu Senate and Kabete respectively.
