Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru has hinted at a possibility of running for another
elective post after the end of her two terms as the county boss.
Waiguru said she welcome calls by residents to consider seeking another leadership
role in the county come 2027 elections.
It has however caused political ripples on which political seat she had trained her eyes on as she can run for senatorial, parliamentary and County assembly position or the president appoint her as a running mate upon the end of her two terms.
Wairugu says the people of Kirinyaga will have the final say on which position she should vie
for the 2027 elections.
The Governor said she is confident of getting the support of the people to vie for any
political position because of her development track record.
“I know because of my performance in terms of development you will support my bid for
any political seat when time for elections come. I asked you not to chase me away when
I am asking for your support,” Waiguru said.
Waiguru further asked Kenyans to exercise politics of tolerance and restraint, saying
Kenya has come far in terms of democracy.
She warned that the country is courting danger by engaging in politics of incitement and
violence.
“Where we are heading, we are playing with fire, there are those trying to stop others
from speaking just because they are in different political camp. Let us be tolerant to
diverse views because Kenyans a clever enough to decide who they will vote for,”
Waiguru warned.
The Governor said she has many political options and was keenly listening to the
political mood in the country.
