There were celebrations in Nyeri county following the naming of Mathira MP Rigathi Gachagua as Deputy President William Ruto’s running mate for the coming August 9 polls. "We are angry because we expected Kindiki to be picked as running mate. In Nyeri, leaders urged Ruto to consider Kindiki for a plum state job saying he is a resourceful and will also add value to Kenya Kwanza campaigns. Former Nyeri mayor, who is also the Nyeri chairman of Kenya Kwanza, Wanyaga Gathaka said Gachagua has high mobilisation ability and that will greatly help in Ruto’s campaigns. Nominated MCA Patrick Mutahi said they will now step-up campaigns for Kenya Kwanza to ensure they end up victorious in August.
