Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru has urged Mt Kenya residents to support President William Ruto's re-election, citing a "ten-year political promise" allegedly made by former President Uhuru Kenyatta. She emphasized that Mt Kenya has a moral obligation to honor this pledge and warned against the region being seen as untrustworthy.

• Waiguru stated that Kenyatta had indicated Ruto should serve two full terms.
• She launched a strong attack on former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, accusing him of lacking the constitutional capacity for credible political leadership.
• The governor cautioned against relying solely on Mt Kenya's voting strength, stressing the need for broad-based national support for leadership.
