NAIROBI, Kenya, Oct 12 — Tharaka Nithi Governor Muthomi Njuki has been elected chairperson of the Council of Governors (CoG), with Bungoma Governor Kenneth Lusaka taking the deputy chairperson position as Baringo Governor Benjamin Cheboi retained the whip post.
Njuki succeeds Wajir Governor Ahmed Abdullahi, who completed two consecutive one-year terms at the helm of the council.
The new leadership was elected during a full council meeting at Mövenpick Hotel in Nairobi on Monday, bringing an end to the succession process that had drawn attention to the council’s role in representing county governments in negotiations with the national government.
