On October 7, 2021, Martha Karua, leader of the Narc Kenya party, was seen meeting with key figures in the Mt Kenya region, including Moses Kuria, Mwangi Kiunjuri, and other like-minded politicians.
As the 2022 elections approach, Karua has been instrumental in shaping the Mt Kenya unity bid, holding meetings with factions to build consensus on a pre-election arrangement with leading presidential candidates.
Her recent appointment as Spokesperson of the Mt Kenya Unity group has further solidified her position as a key player in the region's politics.
During the meeting, Karua was accompanied by former Lugari MP Cyrus Jirongo, sparking speculation about their intentions.
The meeting was held ahead of an OKA luncheon with Mt Kenya Foundation (MKF) leaders, who had previously met with ODM leader Raila Odinga.
Musalia Mudavadi, leader of the Amani National Congress, tweeted about the meeting, saying: 'Met up with the One Kenya Principals, Hon Martha Karua and Hon Cyrus Jirongo for a brief consultation before meeting the officials of Mt. Kenya Foundation (MKF) at a luncheon later today.'
