David Murathe, the former Jubilee Party Vice Chairman, has reiterated that despite retiring in 2022, former President Uhuru Kenyatta remains the political figurehead of the Mt Kenya region. During an interview with a local newspaper, Murathe expressed his belief that Uhuru's true political influence will be revealed in 2027. It is in that year when Uhuru will reportedly lead the Kikuyu community and specifically the Mt Kenya region in opposing President Ruto's perceived authoritarian rule. Despite relinquishing his position as President, Uhuru is said to still command a significant following in the region. According to Murathe, Uhuru will provide guidance to the Mt Kenya region in navigating the political landscape during the 2027 election cycle.
