Even as political parties in Mt.Kenya scramble for numbers in the run up to 2022 general election, their leaders are scheduled to meet in the coming month, to craft a common front to avert a possible split of vote, that could eventually deny them the tyranny advantage, should they pull in different directions..

 

The Service Party leader Hon. Mwangi Kiunjuri who is seeking to unite all leaders with political parties in Mt.Kenya, has said  the mission is to ensure that the mountain vote as a block, a move he say will assure bargaining power….

‘’In the next one month or two, we shall be sitting together as Mt. Kenya people, as party leaders, tuketi kwanza ama watu wa mlima, na sisi wote the like-minded people..’’Kiunjuri said.

 

His sentiments coming days after deputy president William Ruto in a televised interview intimated that UDA is not interested in any coalition to form government next year..Kiunjuri says that  the mountain will be a force to reckon with, should all political parties within the region resolve to work as a team…

 

‘’our unity as Mt. Kenya, nobody should take it for granted. No one should think that you can split us to their advantage. As leaders we will sit down and craft a package’’ Kiunjuri said.

Leaders expected to join the Mt.Kenya unity bandwagon include Moses Kuria of Chama Cha Kazi, Martha Karua’s NARC-K, Governor Mwangi Wa Iria of Usawa kwa Wote Party, Peter Kenneth of Kenya National Congress, The Service Party among others…

 

‘’ Every party should be left to grow. But that should not divide us’’. Kiunjuri Said

 

Mt. Kenya region has about 8 million registered voters. Presidential hopefuls in the next general election have been shopping for their possible running mates from the region, with a hope that they would sway the voters their way.
