Politicians in Kirinyaga skipped the launch of President Uhuru Kenyatta's election campaigns on Saturday. Murang'a Governor Mwangi wa Iria was leading a caravan to launch the event, but residents demanded to know why local leaders were not part of the team. But Wa Iria asked residents to calm down as he was only seeking votes for Uhuru in the October repeat election. Kerugoya MCA James Murango told The Star via text that they were not aware of the caravan. On Friday, politicians from Mt Kenya region met with Uhuru at the Sagana State Lodge to strategise on campaigns for the repeat presidential election.
