Campaigns for most, if not all, elective posts in Murang’a are expected to be intensive ahead of the August polls. The most competitive one is the race for governor, pitting the incumbent Mwangi Wairia against Kigumo MP Jamleck Kamau. A two-term Kigumo MP, Kamau is seen as the biggest threat to Wairia’s reelection. The 2013 polls runner-up in the governor race, Dr Moses Mwangi, is the newest entrant also seeking to unseat the incumbent. These are the incumbent Gitura, Kiharu MP Kang’ata and Peter Njangi.
