    Kiraitu Murungi has officially retired from elective politics. He made the announcement after receiving an honorary degree from Laikipia University. The former Meru governor said the 2022 loss deeply affected him emotionally. He has now chosen to promote happiness and mentor political leaders. Kiraitu says he will remain involved through advisory, not campaigns. Kiraitu Announces Exit From Political Races Former Meru Governor Kiraitu Murungi has confirmed that he will no longer take part in elections, marking the end of a political career that lasted more than 30 years. He said the decision was personal and based on lessons learned from many years in public service. Honorary Degree Marks Turning Point The announcement was made on Tuesday, January 27, shortly after he received an honorary doctorate from Laikipia University. The institution recognised him for his long service, leadership, and contribution to public life, an event he described as a moment of reflection. Long Journey in Public Service Kiraitu began his political path in 1992 when he was first elected to Parliament. Over the years, he served as a cabinet minister during President Mwai Kibaki’s time in office, later becoming Meru Senator in 2013. In 2017, he won the Meru governor seat but lost it in the 2022 General Election to Governor Kawira Mwangaza. 2022 Loss Took Heavy Emotional Toll While speaking to friends and family during the ceremony, Kiraitu openly shared the emotional struggle that followed his election defeat. He said the loss left him deeply unhappy, especially because politics had been his life for decades and he had no clear alternative plan. Seeking Help and Finding New Meaning The former governor revealed that he underwent counseling and attended special classes for nine months to recover emotionally. Through the process, he said he discovered the importance of happiness beyond power and political titles. Launching a ‘Happiness Crusade’ Kiraitu said this personal journey pushed him to start what he now calls a happiness crusade. His aim is to help leaders, especially politicians, prepare for life after elections and avoid emotional collapse when power ends. Still Active, But Away From Campaigns Although he has stepped away from elective politics, Kiraitu clarified that he is not completely leaving public debate. He said he will remain involved through what he described as “low-temperature politics,” offering advice, sharing ideas, and supporting democracy without rallies or campaigns. Similar Moves by Other Leaders His announcement comes shortly after former Kigumo MP Jamleck Kamau also declared a break from frontline politics. Kamau, however, said his decision was temporary and promised to stay in touch with supporters as he plans his return. Kiraitu’s exit marks the close of a long political chapter, as he shifts focus from ballots and campaigns to personal growth, mentorship, and life beyond elected office.
