ANOTHER BIG FALLOUT IN RUTO’S KENYA KWANZA.

Another disgusting fallout in Ruto’s Kenya Kwanza as party bigwigs engage in ugly exchange

Bahati Member of Parliament Kimani Ngunjiri urged Bahati residents to re-elect Governor Lee Kinyanjui in the upcoming August 9 poll.

The legislator urged Nakuru residents to consider the incumbent governor and not Senator Susan Kihika who is also in the governor race.

The move seems to have worsened the feud between Kihika and the MP.

Speaking during an event in Bahati on Wednesday, Ngunjiri told the residents that the power was in their hands to elect the candidate that they feel will bring more developments.

“Have they forced you to elect them? You know the type of leader to choose and the best person to continue developing the region. The answer for Nakuru is Lee and here in Bahati it is Kimani Ngunjiri,” he said.

In her reaction, Senator Kihika vowed to ensure the MP is defeated in the August 9 General Election.

“Ati yule jamaa wa Bahati amesema nini leo? Kama maneno iko hivyo na mimi ninasema watu wangu wa Bahati roundi hii tucheze kama sisi, kwani iko nini. Waende home na Governor Kinyanjui” (I hear he has endorsed my rival. If that is the case, I urge my people of Bahati to ensure the two go home,” Ms Kihika wrote on her Facebook page.

The political development has escalated differences between the two allies of DP Ruto.

They have in the past few months been avoiding each other even during local political rallies attended by Dr Ruto in Nakuru.

Mr Ngunjiri, for instance, has been absent from two political events held by the Kenya Kwanza outfit in Nakuru in the past two weeks, raising eyebrows.

Last week, Mr Ngunjiri was conspicuously missing from Kenya Kwanza’s Nakuru County Economic Bloc Forum held at the Rift Valley Sports Club.

He was also glaringly absent during last weekend’s Kenya Kwanza rallies in Nakuru.

Some Nakuru leaders and voters questioned his absence, but political pundits linked it to the supremacy battles with Senator Kihika.
