Vocal Jubilee party’s tangatanga wing crusader has been endorsed for Nakuru County’s governorship in 2022.
The Nakuru County Senator Susan Kihika was on Friday endorsed by Six Nakuru County MPs for the county’s governorship in the next general election.
The six are Kimani Ngunjiri (Bahati), David Gikaria (Nakuru Town East), Samuel Gachobe (Subukia), Liza Chelule (Nakuru Woman representative), Jayne Kihara (Naivasha) and Charity Kathambi (Njoro).
In a rally at Nakuru ASK showground on Friday, the MPs said Ms Kihika was the right person for the job.Ms Kihika appealed for the support of local leaders and youth.
The senator who has been at loggerheads with her home MP Mr Ngunjiri, surprised everyone when she announced that she and Ngunjiri have buried the hatchet.
Commenting on their now warm relationship, Ngujiri said he is fully behind Kihika.
“I have had differences with Kihika but that is all behind us now. As long as I’m in active politics, I will stand with her,” Ngunjiri said.
Ngunjiri who was a staunch supporter of Governor Lee Kinyanjui in 2017, said Kihika’s father, the veteran politician Kihika Kimani, did much for the people of Nakuru.
