October 27, 2021, marked a significant shift in Kirinyaga politics as Governor Anne Waiguru joined the United Democratic Alliance (UDA), a move that has left many, including Kirinyaga Woman Representative Purity Wangui Ngirici, in shock.
Ngirici, a pioneer in UDA, has been vocal about her concerns regarding Waiguru's decision, citing the governor's previous stance on the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) as a major point of contention.
‘The hypocrites who lied to the Mt Kenya people that BBI was good have joined us. However, I’m happy at least they now know you (voters) were not interested in BBI. We welcome them to the hustler nation although it is too late,’ Ngirici said.
Ngirici has also expressed her willingness to face Waiguru in the nominations, emphasizing the need for a free and transparent process.
‘If you defeat me, I will sit back and support. However, I know you can’t beat me, and therefore, you should be ready to accept defeat and go home,’ Ngirici stated.
