In the wake of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s successful removal from office, a wave of congratulatory messages has begun to surface for Professor Kithure Kindiki as a potential running mate for President William Ruto.
Key political figures, including Presidential Economic Advisor Moses Kuria and Kirinyaga Governor Ann Waiguru, have publicly expressed their support for Kindiki, hinting at a possible shift in the political landscape.
Moses Kuria posted :My beloved House of Mumbi. In 2022 we paid external debts by voting for a non Mt Kenya candidate. Time has come for us to complete the debt paying season by paying our domestic debt through supporting for our Meru and Embu siblings to lead us. History will judge us right Take it from your economist son.”
Ann Waiguru said :” My brother Professor Kithure Kindiki, my sincere congratulations. To you history has placed an honor and responsibility accorded to only a few. May God guide you and HE William Samoei Ruto as you lead this great country to achieve its tremendous potential. To those that supported me for this position, I thank you. We must now dedicate our efforts to building a better Kenya under the leadership of HE William Samoei Ruto and HE Abraham Kithure Kindiki.”
The support for Kindiki comes as a critical response to Gachagua’s impeachment, which has left a power vacuum within the Deputy President’s office.
Analysts suggest that Ruto’s choice of a new running mate will be pivotal in shaping the future of the ruling party and could significantly influence the political dynamics leading up to the next elections.
Political observers are closely monitoring these developments, as the endorsements for Kindiki signal a potential consolidation of support within the Kenya Kwanza Alliance.
