Muriithi Rejects DCP, Launches New Party Bid for Laikipia Governor

Kenya Revenue Authority Chairman Ndiritu Muriithi has announced he will run for Laikipia governor not with the Democratic Citizens Party (DCP), but with a new party, after previously declaring he would not join Rigathi Gachagua's party. Meanwhile, Sports Cabinet Secretary Salim Mvurya and several UDA legislators are advocating for a "six-piece" voting pattern in the Coast region for the next general election, urging residents to vote for all UDA candidates. Separately, the Attorney-General has defended Prof Kithure Kindiki's DP nomination in court, stating it requires only National Assembly approval, not IEBC clearance, while arguing judges cannot overturn Parliament's impeachment of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua as it is a political decision.
