Passaris, who has served as Nairobi Women Representative since 2017, said her experience at the National Assembly has prepared her for the new challenge.
She pointed out that during her time in office, she has pushed for laws aimed at protecting women, children, and vulnerable families.
According to her, moving to represent Makadara directly will give her a closer opportunity to address local challenges such as unemployment, poor housing, insecurity, and youth empowerment.
Makadara Constituency, one of the densely populated areas in Nairobi, has in recent years faced concerns over infrastructure, access to social services, and economic opportunities for young people.
Passaris said her focus will be on practical solutions, including improving access to government funds for small businesses and strengthening partnerships with national agencies to improve roads and public facilities.
Her announcement has already attracted mixed reactions. Some leaders have welcomed her move, saying she has the experience and network to lobby for development projects.
Supporters argue that her national visibility and connections could bring more resources to Makadara.
However, others believe the race will be competitive, as several local leaders are also eyeing the seat.
Political analysts say the 2027 contest in Makadara could become one of the most watched parliamentary battles in Nairobi.
The area has a vibrant political base, and campaigns are expected to begin early as aspirants seek to win the trust of voters.
Passaris assured residents that she will continue serving Nairobi in her current role until the end of her term.
She said leadership is about service, not positions, and promised to run a respectful campaign focused on issues rather than personal attacks.
“I am ready to work even closer with the people of Makadara,” she told supporters. “I believe together we can unlock the full potential of this constituency.”
