Waiguru Wants Kindiki’s Seat; Can Waiguru Help Ruto Win in 2027?

In politics there are no permanent friends and no permanent enemies 👀 Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru has said on Citizen TV that she wants to be William Ruto's running mate in 2027. That means going for the Deputy President seat Kithure Kindiki holds right now. We thought she and Kindiki were friends! We break down her pitch: "ignore the gender angle", the county experience, and why she says Ruto needs "something drastic". We also look at her claim that Kalonzo, Sifuna and Matiang'i can't win, and ask whether Kalonzo would ever step aside after waiting since 2007. Then we cover Gachagua's blessing, DCP becoming "the ticket that wins" in the mountain, and why that kills voter turnout (the old ODM-ticket problem).
