Wario, who belongs to the Wajirde clan, emphasized his commitment to serve all Isiolo residents regardless of their political or clan affiliations, highlighting his focus on sustainable development and inclusive leadership.
The NEDP leadership expressed confidence in Wario’s ability to drive transformative change given his extensive experience in public service, pledging full support for his gubernatorial campaign.
