Former Gichugu Member of Parliament Martha Karua has left Raila Odinga in tears after she joined Jubilee Party.
Karua, who has been hanging out with Raila, has declared interest in Kirinyaga Gubernatorial seat, a position that has attracted former Devolution Cabinet Secretary Anne Waiguru.
Though she has not publicly stated that she will support President Kenyatta’s re-election, her close associates reveal that she will soon throw her weight behind Uhuru.
Karua has been in the cold for a while after she unsuccessfully contested for President in 2013 and lost miserably. She is now eager to re-launch her political star, which faded the moment she went her way.
It is now obvious none of Central Kenya senior politicians will go against the wishes of their tribe, which dictates that they must support Uhuru for them to be elected for any position.
