What you need to know:

  • On Wednesday, Mr Muthama met with Kitui professionals who pledged allegiance to DP Ruto.
  • This comes after a meeting with Dr Ruto in Karen, although Prof Kibwana denied joining the ‘'Hustler Nation''.
  • Prof Kibwana urged Mr Muthama not to relent in his push for change in the region.
  • Mr Muthama said that Ukambani politics has changed and Mr Musyoka is now feeling the heat.

The battle for the control of Ukambani votes has gone a notch higher with Makueni Governor Kivutha Kibwana and former Machakos Senator Johnstone Muthama launching a campaign targeting the Kalonzo Musyoka-led Wiper party.

A series of meetings have been taking place at the senator’s home in Mua, Machakos, and have gained momentum in the last one month.
