Candidate announcement
Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru has warned the Mt Kenya region against abandoning President William Ruto’s re-election bid, arguing that the move could cost the community political influence and access to national development opportunities.
Waiguru reiterated her warning that the region could spend up to 30 years outside government if it turns against an administration it helped bring to power, urging residents to reconsider calls for Ruto to serve only one term.
Speaking during a community empowerment forum in Laikipia East, the governor expressed confidence that Ruto would win a second term in the 2027 General Election, citing what she described as his growing support across the country and divisions within the opposition.
