Former Kiambu Governor William Kabogo has- dropped his presidential bid ahead of the 2022 polls.
The Tujibebe party leader has opted for the already squeezed Kiambu governor currently held by James Nyoro.
Kabogo has been sending mixed signals, indicating he may be going for the presidency while addressing a political rally in Thika, said he has bowed to pressure from the electorate to contest the governor seat.
“The people of Kiambu want me to contest the governor’s seat and i have decided i will obey their wishes despite the fact that I was interested in the presidency,” Kabogo said.
The former Kiambu governor was speaking during an event also attended by One Kenya Alliance principals Kalonzo Musyoka, Musalia Mudavadi, Gideon Moi and Moses Wetang’ula.
Senator Kimani Wamatangi, Assembly Speaker Stephen Ndicho and Thika Town MP Patrick Wainaina are also in contention for the governor seat.
Waititu and Wainaina are expected to fight for the United Democratic Alliance ticket while Nyoro, Ndicho and Wamatangi are yet to declare parties of choice ahead of the fast approaching 2022 polls.
Nyoro, who was elected along with Waititu on a Jubilee ticket, has been associating with the Azimio la Umoja fraternity led by Orange Democratic Movement party leader Raila Odinga.
On the other hand, Ndicho and Wamatangi have kept people guessing about their political allegiance.
