Kikuyu MP has said that Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu may not successfully defend his seat in 2022.
Ichung'wa says that Waititu is yet to convince the people of Kiambu that he is the right man to transform their livelihoods after they voted for him overwhelmingly during last year's General election.
According to the MP, nominated Senator Isaac Mwaura is better placed to succeed Waititu as his current record at the Senate indicates he has the interests of the people of Kiambu at heart.
"We are waiting for 2022 and Mwaura is the man to watch," Ichung'wa said on Saturday morning at Radio Jambo during an interview.
However, Mwaura who was present, brushed off the Kikuyu MP's sentiments.
"It's time we give hustlers the opportunity to prove their leadership capability to Kenyans," he said.
Waititu is serving his first term as Kiambu Governor after defeating former Kiambu Governor William Kabogo during the August 8 General election.
He has, however, been at loggerheads with a section of business people especially bar owners following the recent crackdown that has led to closure of many liquor joints in the vast county.
