The governor said the reaction by residents indicated his party is gaining ground.
Governor Munya said he kept away from the President's tour because he loves peace.
But Mr Murungi on Sunday insisted that Mr Munya was behind the heckling.
The rift between Meru Governor Peter Munya and Senator Kiraitu Murungi continues to widen as the two leaders fight over the booing of Jubilee candidates on Saturday during a tour by President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Mr Munya has said that he kept away from President Kenyatta’s tour of the county to avoid a backlash while Mr Murungi accuses the governor of ferrying youths to humiliate him.
