Isiolo, Kenya| In a powerful display of unity and resolve, the Garreh community in Isiolo County has thrown its unwavering support behind Governor Abdi Guyo as he prepares to seek a second term in office.
During a vibrant gathering that brought together a diverse cross-section of community members—including former Members of the County Assembly (MCAs), youth, women, clergy, and business leaders—the community categorically dismissed a recent press statement issued by a small group of elders, labeling it as divisive and unrepresentative of their collective will.
The event, held in the heart of Isiolo, was a testament to the community’s commitment to unity, development, and inclusive governance.
Prominent figures such as former Burat MCA Yarrow and councilor Ibrahim Miraa led the charge, rallying attendees to reaffirm their trust in Governor Guyo’s leadership.
The gathering not only served as a platform to endorse the governor but also as a bold rejection of what the community described as “opportunistic narratives” propagated by a handful of elders seeking to sow discord.

“We will not be swayed by baseless claims or opportunistic agendas,” he declared. “Our focus is on building a stronger, more inclusive Isiolo, and Governor Guyo has shown he is the leader to take us there.”
Dismissing Controversies and Rumors
The gathering also addressed recent controversies, particularly allegations surrounding the purported abduction of former Chief Officer Abdirahman.
Community leaders dismissed these claims as unfounded rumors designed to create tension and undermine the governor’s administration.
“These allegations are nothing more than distractions meant to derail our collective progress,” Miraa stated. “We stand firmly with our elected leaders and will not allow such narratives to divide us.”
