hands down.
She will face NARC Kenya leader Martha Karua and the incumbent Joseph Ndathi who is running on an independent
ticket.

JP nomination certificate at Sifa garden in Kutus town, Waiguru said she is ready to transform lives.
"Kirinyaga is a Jubilee Zone and those competing with us in those other small parties will be defeated," Waiguru said.
"I ask my competitors to support President Uhuru Kenyatta but wait for 2022 to contest for the governor position."
Waiguru said she will unite all the JP nominees and ensure Jubilee party clinches all the elective seats in Kirinyaga.
