The Kiambu County governor race has attracted a woman candidate.
Aquiline Gathendu seeks to unseat Governor William Kabogo in next year's polls.
The IT specialist declared her bid to oust Governor Kabogo at Ruiru town on Saturday. Gathendu said she will lock horns with both Kabogo and Kabete MP Ferdinard Waititu for the Jubilee party ticket.
“I will give them a run for their money because I’m confident that I will beat them,” she was quoted by The Star.
Gathendu said that her bold move to face the "two political giants" in the competition was triggered by the urge of bringing "real change" in governorship and administration in Kiambu.
“We have a lot of resources in our county, but still we are lagging behind in development because of poor leadership,” she said.
Gathendu said if elected she would improve agriculture and upgrade dilapidated roads, and grow the county's economy.
"I will also create a conducive environment for investors and traders, which is currently lacking," she said.
