Next Thursday’s Kiambaa parliamentary by-election has yet again provided another battleground for Jubilee Party and the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) to flex their political muscles ahead of the 2022 General Election.
Going by the last-minute heated campaigns by both Jubilee’s Kariri Njama and UDA candidate Njuguna Wanjiku, the contest appears to be too close to call. At play in the bare-knuckled competition is a quest by Deputy President William Ruto’s allied Tanga Tanga MPs from Central Kenya to test their influence in the region. Both Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria and Rigathi Gachagua (Mathira) are angling to be Ruto’s point men.
