Nyeri town Member of Parliament Ngunjiri Wambugu has affirmed yet again that Deputy President William Ruto has no guaranteed support from Mt.Kenya region. According to Kenyans.co.ke, Wambugu stated that who they backed in 2022 was dependent on what happened between now and then and Ruto should expect anything from the region. "We will also revisit many issues that will happen during the next four years, when we go to make decisions in 2022. (For example when the President asks MPs to distribute committee leadership positions in Parliament inclusively to ensure we have a good balance and some refuse to heed his call, we note this and will revisit)," Wambugu wrote.Ngunjiri added that what was important to them was to see President Uhuru Kenyatta reelected. Ngunjiri also responded to Gatundu South Member of Parliament Moses Kuria who had ealier slammed his sentiments stating that he does not support his opinion. "I feel it is important to point out that 2022 is over four years away, and no one, not even Kuria or myself, is guaranteed re-election in 2022."For elected legislators like Kuria and me, we would, therefore, be doing this country a great disservice if we started a campaign for 2022 at this point —for anyone, including ourselves," Ngunjiri addedKuria said him and his people from the region will offer DP Ruto full support in his 2022 presidential bid
