His remarks have triggered fresh speculation about possible political changes in the Mount Kenya region as leaders continue to reposition themselves ahead of the polls.
Speaking during the Kazi na Boda programme in Kiambu Township, Wamatangi said his political future would be guided by the wishes of Kiambu residents rather than loyalty to a specific party.
He noted that leadership belongs to the people and leaders must listen to the direction voters choose.
The governor said his main focus remains development and improving services across the county.
He pointed to projects in roads, health services, markets, youth programmes, and infrastructure as some of the achievements his administration plans to present to voters before the next election.
Wamatangi also maintained that performance, not party affiliation, would shape political decisions in the coming years.
According to him, if the people of Kiambu decide to support a different political path in 2027, he would respect their choice and move with them.
His comments come at a time when political competition within the ruling side appears to be intensifying.
Nominated senator Alice Ng'ang'a has recently been linked to growing interest in the Kiambu governor seat, setting the stage for a possible political showdown.
The two leaders have exchanged criticism in recent months over county development and leadership style, exposing divisions within local politics.
Political observers now believe Wamatangi’s statement could be part of a wider strategy by Mount Kenya leaders seeking to remain flexible as alliances begin to shift ahead of the next election cycle.
Others see it as an effort to strengthen his image as a leader who prioritizes public opinion over party politics.
Even with the growing speculation, Wamatangi insisted that his priority remains fulfilling his promises to Kiambu residents before the 2027 campaigns officially gather momentum.
