A section of pro Government leaders want Peter Kenneth picked as a running mate of ODM leader Raila Odinga in next year’s Presidential polls.
The leaders who included Muturi Kigano (Kangema) Nduati Ngugi (Gatanga) Wangari Mwaniki (Kigumo) Peter Kimari (Mathioya) and the newly nominated Senator Isaac Ngugi announced to start a series of negotiations meetings to have Kenneth picked as a handshake candidate in next year’s polls.
They said Kenneth is a tested and proven leader who has been a staunch supporter of the President Uhuru Kenyatta and has worked with Raila giving him the required experience to work with the former Prime Minister in the next government should the duo ascends to power.
According to the leaders largely from Muranga, the county has been supportive of past government and that it was the high time a leader from the county is picked to represent the region nationally.
