Former Devolution CS Anne Waiguru has landed a new role in the political circles just weeks after getting elected new Kirinyaga County governor.
In a Monday meeting by Jubilee Party leaders drawn from Kirinyaga, Waiguru was charged with the responsibility of spearheading President Uhuru Kenyatta's reelection campaign ahead of the October 26 repeat polls.
The County chief will lead a team comprising of professionals which shall conduct a door-to-door campaign in support of President Kenyatta.
"We will move in every ward and ensure residents turn out in their numbers to vote for President Uhuru Kenyatta," Waiguru said during the meeting.
On his part, immediate former Kirinyaga governor Joseph Ndathi faulted Opposition coalition NASA leaders for derailing the electoral process by giving IEBC unnecessary demands.
"They are not ready. That is the reason they are making unnecessary demands to the electoral agency," he said.
He further exuded confidence that President Kenyatta will win the repeat polls by a wider margin.
