Jumwa stated that residents of Kilifi are tired of coalition government politics and should support the opposition. She vowed to work with Wiper to paint the Coast region in the party's 'sky blue' color for the 2027 polls. Taifa Leo reports she is associated with plans to vie for the Kilifi governor's seat in 2027.
