Tharaka Nithi Senator Kithure Kindiki has said he was convinced by DP William Ruto and the entire Kenya Kwanza Alliance team to drop his governorship bid. Kindiki said that he will not be going back to county politics, as he had promised himself that he will only serve the Tharaka Nithi residents for two terms. "In the next 82 days, we will campaign for DP Ruto. I will use the break to reorganise myself as I support my party UDA and Kenya Kwanza to ensure they deliver to Kenyans after assuming office." He did not attend the ceremony where DP William Ruto unveiled Gachagua as his running mate eliciting speculations over his next political move.
