Kirinyaga County Women Rep Purity Ngirici is crying foul after being betrayed by DP William Ruto’s United Democratic Alliance.
In an interview with The Standard, Ngirici said that she regrets spending a lot of money in the party’s popularization campaigns only for it to openly support a different person for the Kirinyaga gubernatorial seat in the 2022 elections.
Aside from spending millions to popularize UDA, Ngirici said that she converted Ngirici and Sons Rescue Team Center into UDA offices and rebranded the Center’s ambulances with UDA colors.
“I don’t even want to remember how much I have used to build the UDA party in Kirinyaga from scratch, but I’m young in politics and still learning,” Ngirici stated.
Earlier on, she claimed that she played a big role in popularizing the Ruto led party especially in Mt. Kenya region.
“I popularised UDA Party in Kirinyaga County. I convinced my people that UDA was the political outfit to join, and that Ruto was the man best-suited to take over from Uhuru Kenyatta in 2022. I also made them see the gaps in BBI, which was being championed by the President’s team,” she said.
“During that time, Waiguru was on the other side opposing Ruto, claiming that the DP had rented members of the Kikuyu community. She was also at the forefront popularising BBI across Kenya,” said Ngirici. When her mission failed, she crossed over to UDA,” she added.
According to the Women Rep, Governor Anne Waiguru’s move to join UDA has opened her eyes. She admitted that her relationship with DP Ruto has deteriorated.
Ngirici who is yet to make a decision on whether to quit UDA or not says that she is confident that her supporters will follow her wherever she goes.
“I’m, however, confident that my supporters will follow me, regardless of the pedestal I will be standing on. Politics is akin to the game of chess; you must study it well as your next decision would determine whether you win or lose. I have now retreated to carefully study my options before I make my next political move,” Ngirici said.
