Nyandarua Senator Mwangi Githiomi Ditches Jubilee for Ruto's UDA Party

Nyandarua Senator Mwangi Githiomi has become the latest leader to ditch the ruling Jubilee Party ahead of the August 9th general elections.

Githiomi, who is the Chairperson of the Senate Lands Committee, decamped to the Deputy President William Ruto-led United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party on Friday.

The first-time senator was received to the ‘hustler nation’ by Ruto at the deputy president’s Karen residence, where he declared he will defend his seat in the forthcoming elections.

"Growing bigger and better. Welcoming Nyandarua Senator Hon. Mwangi Githiomi to the Hustler Nation," Ruto wrote on his Facebook page.

Githiomi was also welcomed by a host of other UDA leaders among them Murang'a Senator Irungu Kang'ata, MPs Ndindi Nyoro (Kiharu) and Kimani Ichung'wa (Kikuyu).

Githiomi’s decision to ditch Jubilee comes as the President Kenyatta-led party holds its National Delegates Convention (NDC) on Friday at the Kenyatta International Convention Center (KICC).

It also comes ahead of Ruto’s tour of Kinangop, Ol-Kalou, Oljoorok and Ndaragwa constituencies in Nyandarua County to drum support for his presidential bid.

One man out of Jubilee is too many for Uhuru especially coming after Sagana lll indoctrination in vernacular.
I’m sure we will continue witnessing the same as time gets closer to election.

The Nyandarua people must all be stupid to elect a dummy looking guy like this Githiomi! What kind of a name is this? And he sure looks like a foolish Githiomi!

Githiomi,I have known him close to 40 years, he is an intelligent and enterprising guy, hard working too, but also an opportunist to boot. During the dying days of the Moi cleptocracy,he decamped from Mwai Kibaki to KANU and he was appointed Minister for finance. He lasted some 3 months before being booted out by the new regime.

Ruto is grubbing those useless senators and others who have done nothing for their people except steal resources allocated to developing those areas. What other better place for Githiomi to be than the UDAku house of thieves. He has stolen enough and he want the corruption train to continue past 2022. He will be defeated in his dirty plan.
