Tharaka Nithi Senator Kithure Kindiki is optimistic the Mt Kenya region will vote for Deputy President William Ruto to the last man in the August 9 polls. Kindiki said the appointment of Narc Kenya leader Martha Karua as ODM leader Raila Odinga's running mate is inconsequential in wooing the Mt Kenya region to back Raila. In an interview with Citizen TV on Tuesday evening, the senator opined the Mt Kenya region is deeply rooted in the UDA party and the Kenya Kwanza Alliance hence Ruto will win a majority of the votes. “I doubt she will be able to turn the tide of UDA and Kenya Kwanza, not even in Kirinyaga. She will not withstand the tide of Kenya Kwanza.
