Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru has declared that the Mt Kenya region remains firmly behind President William Ruto’s 2027 re-election bid, dismissing claims of growing political discontent in the region.
Waiguru said residents of the Mountain have embraced the ‘Tutam’ slogan, signalling their determination to support Ruto for a second term.
Speaking in Kisii town on Wednesday during the final day of Ruto’s four-day development tour of Kisii and Nyamira counties, Waiguru urged residents to reject divisive politics and support the President.
She also criticised former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua over remarks she claimed portrayed the Gusii community as merely a source of votes.
Waiguru challenged Kisii residents to assess Ruto’s development record, pointing to roads, markets, polytechnics and Kenya Medical Training College projects undertaken by the administration.
She praised the President for distributing development projects across different regions, including Kirinyaga, Murang’a and Kisii, saying the approach demonstrated fairness.
The governor further described the Gusii community as close partners of the Mt Kenya region, noting that the two communities share strong family ties.
She insisted that Mt Kenya residents would not abandon Ruto or allow tribal divisions to influence their political decisions ahead of the 2027 elections.
