A group of Mt Kenya MPs Thursday announced they support Interior Cabinet Secretary Prof. Kithure Kindiki as their key representative to the national executive.
This came days after elected members of Parliament from Mt. Kenya East pledged their support for Kindiki.
The move, reflecting the unfolding political intrigues within the Mt. Kenya region, was announced on Thursday during a meeting in Nyahururu, Laikipia County.
About 48 legislators from Mt. Kenya West and the diaspora signed the declaration, known as the ‘Nyahururu Declaration.
This endorsement sets the stage for a potential political clash between Kindiki and Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua on the control of Central region politics.
