Kindiki rejects CS Ruku's push to split Mt Kenya DP Kindiki declares that he will not allow any attempts to politically divide the region. Politics 1 hour ago

A political rift has emerged within President William Ruto's camp after Deputy President Kithure Kindiki publicly rejected Public Service Cabinet Secretary Geoffrey Ruku's push to split the Mt Kenya region into eastern and western political blocs.

Later on, while at AIC Kabartonjo Church in Baringo North on Sunday, Mr Ruku said Mount Kenya East had firmly resolved to remain in the Kenya Kwanza camp and would not be swayed by DCP Leader and former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua's campaigns.

The CS maintained that isolated electoral losses should not cause panic within Kenya Kwanza, drawing parallels with the 1992 General Election when former President Daniel arap Moi retained power despite losing support in parts of the country.
