Meru Governor Kiraitu Murungi has indicated that it is highly unlikely for Mt Kenya to retain the presidency but rallied the region to back National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi for the top seat.

Muturi has declared interest to succeed President Uhuru Kenyatta in what has triggered a double-pronged succession power struggle both in the region and at the national scene.
