[Collins Oduor, Standard]Reference to Narc Kenya leader Martha Wangari Karua as “Iron lady” came about when some people started comparing her to former powerful British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. Speaking at Gathange village in Kimunye location, yesterday, they said the Narc Kenya leader always had a vision of ending up at State House. Ms Wanjiru described Ms Karua as decisive, firm but obedient and respectful. Ms Karua contested the 2013 presidential election on Narc Kenya ticket and garnered 43,881 votes. Ms Karua contested the election citing election irregularities and filed a petition at the High Court which eventually went to the Supreme Court.
