What you need to know:

  • The two erstwhile rivals have teamed up against the incumbent governor.
  • Pundits say alliance is bound to give Jubilee Party sleepless nights.

If Kipipiri Member of Parliament Amos Kimunya is to be brought to a reckoning at the ballot in his bid for re-election next  year, it will most likely be by former Nyandarua Woman Representative Wanjiku Muhia.

The Jubilee Party majority leader in the National Assembly, who has the backing of Governor Francis Kimemia, is a formidable opponent in his own right, but that is not stopping Ms Muhia, a fiery orator and effective grassroots mobiliser, from promising the two a bruising battle at the polls, come August.
