Former Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu is among Mt Kenya leaders who are currently attending the Limuru III conference.
However, Waititu had not publicly indicated his participation.
Waititu backed President William Ruto's presidential election in 2022.
After he won, he appointed him to the Nairobi Rivers Commission but the appointment was blocked after activists moved to court over his appointment.
Other leaders present include former Laikipia Governor Nderitu Muriithi, Jubilee secretary general Jeremiah Kioni, and Narc Kenya leader Martha Karua among others.
According to Kioni and Martha Karua, the conference would bring together over 10 political parties from the Mt Kenya region to discuss issues that afflict them, as a community.
They insist that the Mt Kenya region has been in a crisis over the last two years, and a solution needs to be found.
According to Karua, the Limuru meeting would provide a platform to discuss various socio-political issues affecting the community, emphasizing the constitutional right of people with common interests to convene.
“The Constitution allows people with common interests to come together. We are not different from other communities and we should join hands to deliberate on our future,” she said in March.
They have also called for unity as they forge this new path.
“I want to ask everyone, we meet Limuru III, on May 17, we discuss issues that concern the Mt Kenya region. We get to know where the problem is, and we know how we will bring back our people together. We protect ourselves, our people and our country,” Karua said in a video urging residents to show up.
The meeting is expected to go on, despite opposition from some key political players from the Mt Kenya region.
