Meru Governor Peter Munya has termed President Uhuru Kenyatta campaigners in the region as ‘political rejects’ who cannot deliver for him.
Despite being in PNU party, Munya has since promised to boost Uhuru’s reelection with some reservations though due to his campaign team.
In Mt. Kenya East, Uhuru is banking on Senator Kiraitu Murungi and MP Mithika Linturi to sway the vote rich region in his favour.
“We are all ready to work with Uhuru but he is using political rejects like Murungi and Linturi who cannot deliver,” he said in apparent swipe at his competitor, Mr Murungi.
“If he can’t change his strategy, we shall see many people voting for the opposition NASA and that is a fact,” added Munya, who also revealed his intentions to go for 2022 presidential elections.
Last week, Murungi was booed by angry supporters when he tried to articulate Jubilee agenda in the region.
And Munya’s remarks comes barely a day before NASA leader Raila Odinga tours the vote rich region where he believes he can score despite Jubilee euphoria.
