 Residents and leaders in Mt Kenya region yesterday expressed mixed reactions after Kenya Kwanza Alliance presidential flagbearer, Deputy President William Ruto, appointed Mathira MP Rigathi Gachagua to be his running mate in the August 9 General Election.

While people in Nyeri exploded with jubilation and excitement, residents of Tharaka Nithi and Kirinyaga counties expressed dissatisfaction after Senator Kithure Kindiki and Governor Anne Waiguru, missed out on the important slot.
