Meru Deputy Governor Raphael Muriungi eyes MP seat

Politics

By Phares Mutembei | Nov 20, 2016

Meru Deputy Governor Raphael Muriungi has expressed interest in the Igembe South parliamentary seat during next year's General Election.

Muriungi, who has announced he will not be Governor Peter Munya's running mate in 2017, said he will vie for the seat on a Democratic Party (DP) ticket.

Speaking in Meru town Saturday, Muriungi said plans are underway to open more DP offices, including in Maua town.

"DP is a massive party with a huge following across Kenya and was retired President Mwai Kibaki's development vehicle. I ascribe to the development vision that it stands for," Muriungi said.

He said education and agricultural development would be some of his priority areas.
