Trouble For Peter Munya As Kinoti Gatobu Steps Down For Kiraitu Murungi

Peter Munya's chances of a two term governance of Meru County now hangs in the balance after one of the candidates in the race dropped his bid to support that of Kiraitu Murungi on Thursday. 
An Independent candidate and current Buuri Member of Parliament Kinoti Gatobu was reigned upon by Uhuru Kenyatta to support the gubernatorial bid of Jubilee candidate Senator Kiraitu Murungi. The president was speaking in Athiru - Ruujine, Mikinduri and Chaaria.

Kinoti Gatobu

Kinoti Gatobu has played a big gamble with his future as Uhuru Kenyatta is also facing stiff competition from the opposition. He promised to give Kinoti Gatobu a job in his next government.
The youthful Kinoti Gatobi surprised many when he clinched Buuri Parliamentary ticket as an independent. He is the youngest MP in parliament and also the best performing.
Whether this development will boost Kiraitu Murungi or not remains to be seen as the opinion polls indicate Kinoti Gatobu had very little influence in the largely two horse race.
Peter Munya is a strong man who has managed to put his head above local politics to take on deputy president William Ruto. He is among the few leaders in Mt Kenya and the Rift Valley who have the courage to oppose the deputy president in public.

 Peter Munya is readying himself for the presidency in 2022. The battle for the next generation of presidents will be a bruising one as different alliances prepare themselves to take over the mantle from political dynasties whose time is slowly nearing the end.
