Juja MP George Koimburi has urged Mt Kenya leaders to rally behind Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria and endorse him as Deputy President William Ruto's running mate for the 2022 election. The lawmaker was elected last month on the ticket of the People’s Empowerment Party, a party associated with Kuria. He has the interests of the Mt Kenya people at heart and will bring the lion's share of development to the region,” Koimburi said. He expressed optimism that the deputy president will succeed President Uhuru Kenyatta to be the fifth president. The MP, in a thinly veiled statement, dismissed National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi’s coronation as the region's kingpin.
