Senior public sector administrator Dekow Bishar Dahir has declared his intention to vie for the Wajir South parliamentary seat on the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) ticket in the 2027 General Election.
Dahir, who has more than 13 years of experience in postal services, logistics and public administration, is currently the Regional Postal Manager for the Mt. Kenya Region, where he oversees postal operations across nine counties.
His career has seen him serve in Northern Kenya, the Coast, Rift Valley and Mt. Kenya regions, as well as at headquarters, experience he says has equipped him with a deep understanding of Kenya’s development challenges and the needs of diverse communities.
Dahir said his campaign would be guided by the theme “Prosperity and Growth”, with a focus on improving livelihoods and strengthening public service delivery.
He pledged to prioritise youth empowerment through employment and entrepreneurship opportunities, improve access to quality education and healthcare, expand infrastructure, and invest in water and livestock development to support the constituency’s largely pastoralist economy.
The aspiring legislator also promised to champion peace, unity and inclusive leadership while promoting transparency and accountability in the management of public resources.
Dahir said leadership should be defined by service, integrity and measurable results, adding that he would work closely with residents to address their concerns and advance sustainable development.
“Together, we can build a prosperous, united and self-reliant Wajir South,” he said.
