A section of MCAs have endorsed Kiambu Governor William Kabogo to be William Ruto's running mate in 2022.

Kiambu deputy Speaker Antony Macharia yesterday said Kabogo was the senior-most politician in the region, which makes him the automatic candidate for the deputy president's seat.

Addressing farmers at Kimende in Lari yesterday, Macharia, who is also the Bibirioni MCA, said Kabogo was best suited to be the Central Kenya kingpin after the retirement of President Uhuru Kenyatta.

"If the region will elect Ruto as President, then Kabogo will have to be his deputy," he said.
