A major event to unveil the new Mt Kenya Kingpin will be held on December 31, 2023, Politician Maina Njenga has said.
Speaking exclusively to the Star, Maina Njenga disclosed that the event will be a mega one for the Mt Kenya region and would herald a new beginning.
According to Njenga, the event will be held in Nyeri County and will be graced by Former President Uhuru Kenyatta.
"We are going to invite everybody, regardless of their political affiliation, the event will be a major one for our region, and it is our time to stand together," he said.
Njega, however, did not disclose who Uhuru will hand over to.
"We have heard Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua talk about the unity of Mt Kenya. We saw a section of people converging in hotels, we want to meet people in public, in broad daylight, and we want to see everyone represented," he said.
"We want everybody to come, as long as they are from the mountain."
On whether Uhuru might hand over leadership to the DP, Njenga said it is not about one popular person but the people of Mt Kenya.
The leader said the event is still in discussion and the planning committee will officially send an invite to Uhuru.
"We are talking to Uhuru as we speak, the date and time of the event will be announced soon. We have roughly one and half months, and by the end of the year, mambo yatakua sawa," he said.
Concerning a new political outfit dubbed Kamwene, Njenga said the Azimio La Umoja brigade is fully in and shouldn't be a concern.
"We are focusing on Mt Kenya, most of our serious leaders were rejected. We want Kenyans to elect the leader they want, without fear, most of the leaders in Parliament don't understand matters," he said.
He noted that within the government, there is no need to have shared, as the Kenya Kwanza administration has a mandate of uniting the country and keeping its promises.
"The country is not about Ruto, Gachagua, Uhuru or myself, it is about the people. With the skyrocketing prices of commodities, people have to endure the consequences."
