Deputy President Prof Kithure Kindiki had put his political reputation on the line when he decided to lead the UDA campaigns for the Mbeere North MP-elect Leonard Wamuthende.

For some time, the DP and former DP Rigathi Gachagua had flexed muscles over who between them was more popular in Mount Kenya politics, and a loss for the UDA candidate in Mbeere North—Kindiki’s Mt Kenya East turf—would have dealt his stake a critical blow.
