Just a few days after President William Ruto visited Mt Kenya, the former deputy president has made a strong return to the region and is currently addressing a huge crowd in Murang’a County.
His presence has attracted a lot of attention, with thousands of residents gathering to hear him speak. This visit marks a big moment in the political environment of the region, especially at a time when tensions are slowly rising ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The former deputy president did not come alone. He is accompanied by several leaders from the Mt Kenya region, all of whom have pledged to work closely with him.
These leaders have formed a united front aimed at bringing together the people of Mt Kenya under one voice. Their message is focused on unity, development, and preparing the region for the political battles ahead.
The show of strength in Murang’a seems to send a clear message to their opponents that the former deputy president still holds considerable influence in the area.
Interestingly, this political rally comes just hours after an incident involving unknown individuals who attacked the venue of a church service where the former deputy president had gone to worship.
While no injuries were reported, the act has raised concerns about rising political tension and possible attempts to intimidate him or disrupt his activities.
The former deputy president did not shy away from addressing the incident. In his speech to the locals, he condemned the attack and promised to remain firm in his mission.
He assured the people of Mt Kenya that his commitment to them is strong and unshaken. He promised to continue mobilizing the region and engaging more with the grassroots. He also hinted at a major announcement that he said will shake the political landscape of the country.
Though he did not go into details, his words were enough to spark speculation about what role he plans to play in the next general election. Some believe he may be forming a new political party or joining forces with other key figures to challenge the current government.
This rally marks the beginning of a wider sensitization program he has scheduled across the Mt Kenya region. His aim, according to close allies, is to reconnect with the people, listen to their grievances, and build a strong support base.
The former deputy president’s return to Mt Kenya could signal the start of a new political wave, especially if he follows through with his promise to make a significant political move.
Many eyes will now be on him as he continues his tour in other counties within the region.
