Mr. Njuki has succeeded Wajir Governor Ahmed Abdullahi, who led the council since 2024.
The leadership transition comes as county governments push for increased funding, timely disbursement of equitable share allocations and settlement of outstanding financial obligations.
The new leadership is also expected to navigate relations between county governments and the national government, particularly over the implementation of devolution and the sharing of responsibilities between the two levels of government.
