Kindiki turns to Kiambu projects in Ruto re-election charm offensive Politics 17 min ago

Prof Kindiki has stepped up his political activities in the Mt Kenya region, seeking to strengthen his standing in a politically influential bloc where the ruling United Democratic Alliance (UDA) faces growing competition from the Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP), led by impeached former deputy president Rigathi Gachagua.

Last week, the Deputy President toured Kiambu for two consecutive days before returning on Wednesday, underscoring the county’s importance in the administration’s efforts to rebuild UDA’s political support in Mt Kenya.

The tours also come against the backdrop of an emerging contest for political leadership in Mt Kenya, with Prof Kindiki and Mr Gachagua seeking to position themselves as influential voices in the region.
