It’s now almost confirmed that Kirinyaga governor Anne Waiguru will be DP William Ruto’s running mate in 2022.
A highly placed source at State House reveals that Jubilee has fronted Waiguru after it emerged she is more popular than Peter Kenneth, the man who could easily succeed President Kenyatta. The source adds that Jubilee also had Devolution CS Mwangi Kiunjuri in mind but later dropped him after leaders from Mount Kenya rejected the name.
Waiguru was yesterday, August 22,2017, photographed alongside Deputy President William Ruto at Kirinyaga where Ruto had attended her swearing in ceremony.Ruto was jovial and almost forgetting his “cat walking” statement. Facial expression from the two could clearly tell they were in good terms.
President Kenyatta’s presidency is in the homestretch and he needs a replacement as soon as now.Peter Kenneth, who until 2017 was emerging as the favourite, has lost goodwill from the most populous tribe. While several options are available, only Waiguru is remaining as the favourite.
