Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru has launched a campaign to mobilize Kenyans, particularly women, to support the Kenya Kwanza Government’s development agenda and President William Ruto’s bid for a second term.

This comes as women leaders from across the country under the initiative of Daughter of Kenya endorsed her for a future national seat.

Speaking while addressing about 2,000 women drawn from across Kenya, Governor Waiguru said she will be making a personal sacrifice to traverse the country and rally Kenyans to support Ruto for a second term.

Waiguru asked Kenyans and especially Mt. Kenya region to reject opposition politics saying the region can’t afford to be out of government for five years.

She said the opposition cannot win the 2027 elections because it lacks clear strategy and agenda to move the country forward.

The governor said together with other like-minded leaders, they will rally the region to support the Kenya Kwanza government and President Ruto's bid for a second term in office.

She said her mission is to articulate the gains that come from unity and collective support for the government.

She stated that her campaign will also preach the value of working together while safeguarding the progress already made in women’s leadership.

Waiguru announced that she would also roll out massive mentoring program for women to take up leadership roles in political, private, religious and civil society spaces.

She stressed that deliberate efforts were needed to protect and advance the gains women have made in leadership, warning that complacency could reverse the progress made so far.

She said she is reviving a women’s leadership movement to ensure more women step forward into political leadership, noting that unless women across the country rise up and claim space, hard-won gains would be eroded.
