Nakuru Governor Lee Kinyanjui has revealed that he has voted 6 times, but never in favour of ODM leader Raila Odinga.

“When we needed you, you were there, you kept the country going the bills in parliament were passing, the peace was there, I can only say a big thank you.

“I have voted 5 or 6 times, and in those years, I have never voted for you. But in the coming year, I see that changing,” Nakuru Governor Lee Kinyanjui said.

In August, Nakuru Governor Lee Kinyanjui hosted Raila Odinga during a tour of the region.

Accompanied by her Kirinyaga counterpart Anne Waiguru and Kiambu’s Ndindi Nyoro, they declared that they will support Raila Odinga’s presidency.

However, after the flop of BBI, Lee Kinyanjui was left alone as Waiguru and Nyoro denied that they endorsed Raila Odinga.

They said that the Mt Kenya region had not agreed on the presidential candidate to support in the 2022 General Election.

“There has been speculation that we are leaning towards Raila Odinga, that is not true. In fact, what we are doing is consultations so whoever we think will articulate our issues is the one we will back,” Anne Waiguru said.

Waiguru, who was a staunch supporter of the Building Bridges Initiative later said that she is going to rethink her political future.

Since then, she has distanced herself from Raila Odinga and showed interest in his opponents including DP William Ruto, Kalonzo Musyoka, and Musalia Mudavadi.

Waiguru has shown the possibility of working with the three principals. She said that she is in consultations with her people to guide her through.
