In the context of the August elections, politics is extremely complicated. Uhuru Kenyatta is assured by the Meru council of elders that they will only back him and his selected successor if Kananu is nominated for the Nairobi governorship.
After Mike Sonko was impeached from his position, Kananu took over as governor. Uhuru Kenyatta’s political career will be severely harmed as a result of this. There have been more hopefuls who have come out to promote their agendas to the people in order to compete for the Nairobi top seat. Uhuru has previously indicated his preferred successor, whom he believes is the finest candidate for the president.
Ruto, on the other hand, has been campaigning across the country, promoting his bottom-up economic model, which he argues is the greatest strategy for eradicating poverty in Kenya. The Meru elders were very serious about what they stated, and if they were not followed, there would be a lot of tension in the region.
