RUTO finally gets his 2022 running mate
Meru County politicians have vowed to remain in Senator Kiraitu Murungi’s APK party even as they seek an alliance with Uhuru/ Ruto’s Jubilee Alliance Party (JAP) ahead of 2017.Led by Igembe South MP, Mithika Linturi, Women Rep, Florence Kajuju and County Majority Leader, Ayub Bundi, among other politicians in the County, the leaders said they will never allow Uhuru/ Ruto’s JAP to swallow APK, also known as The Mbus.
“As Meru political leaders, we have said we are not going to join JAP. We need to retain our identity and make it even stronger, so that we can use our unity to bargain for resources and other opportunities for Ameru,” said Mr. Bundi, also the Abothuguchi Central MCA.
The leaders also promised to support Uhuru’s re-election in 2017. However, they vowed to support Deputy President William Ruto for President in 2022 on condition that he takes Mithika Linturi as his running mate.
“We do not want any divisions among leaders. We want to go to the 2017 elections under one party, APK. We are going to support President Uhuru and DP William Ruto in 2017. In 2022, Ruto has said he will go for the Presidency, and we would also like him to consider one of us as his running mate. Mithika Linturi can be that person,” said Gideon Kimathi, Deputy Speaker.
