The Star has established that secret meetings have been held to ensure Uhuru alone does not influence selection of his running mate in 2022. On November 4, governors from Mt Kenya region met in Nanyuki to discuss regional development and politics. They are concerned Ruto could be looking outside Mt Kenya for his running mate, something insiders say the President supports. Kindiki is not shy in expressing his views and promises to make the official announcement on being Ruto’s running mate before Christmas. Meantime, the Mt Kenya Youth Caucus has demanded unconditional support for Ruto’s 2022 bid.
