The objective was to examine the influence of strategic leadership on implementation of National Government Constituencies Development Fund Construction Projects in Westlands Constituency. This study adopted descriptive research design. The study was limited to 17 constituencies in Westlands Constituency. The focus of analysis was on both finished and continuing NG-CDF construction projects in Westlands Constituency.

The study utilized stratified random sampling technique. The research project employed the triangulation process for data collection. The study methodology involved the utilization of questionnaires, document analysis, and the researcher's personal observation. The pretesting phase encompassed a total of 23 participants. Pearson correlation analysis was used to examine the relationship between the independent factor and the dependent variable. Based on the findings, regression and Pearson’s correlation results indicated that there was a positive and significant relationship between strategic leadership and implementation of NGCDF construction projects. The study recommended that leaders must remain adaptable to changing circumstances, adjusting strategies as needed to ensure project success.
