[Kibata Kihu, Standard]The Nyeri governor race presents a sense of déjà vu to the candidates, Wahome Gakuru and Governor Samuel Wamathai. It gets more interesting with the entry into the race of Gakuru’s 2013 running mate, Patrick Munene. Gakuru, the Jubilee Party nominee, finds himself in the same position he was in 2013 when he bagged The National Alliance (TNA) ticket, the most popular party in the region at the time. At 36, he has evened out what he lacks in age and experience with his running mate Njeri Muhara, 50. Gakuru, who comes from Nyeri Town Constituency, has opted for teachers’ union boss Mutahi Kahiga as his running mate.
