Kirinyaga Women Rep Purity Wangui Ngirici has been very uncomfortable in William Ruto’s UDA ever since her fiercest rival Kirinyaga governor Anne Waiguru joined the camp.
The Kirinyaga Women Rep has been threatening to quit UDA ever since Waiguru joined the camp over claims that Ruto is endorsing her for re-election.
Apart from claims of favoritism which is making her to consider leaving UDA, Ngirici also said that her colleagues in TangaTanga have been frustrating her.
Speaking to Standard, the Kirinyaga Women Rep recounted how her husband and her were insulted in a TangaTanga WhatsApp group.
“At one time, I was insulted in TangaTanga Whatsapp group where Ruto is. My husband too was dragged into it and called names but he was not in the group to defend himself. This pained me and I called Ruto to express my displeasure,” Ngirici said.
Ngirici was said to be mulling the possibility of popularizing her party Citizen Convention Party (CPP), where her husband is the party leader, and believes she can get at least three MPs in Kirinyaga.
On December 3rd, Ngirici sparks speculations she was decamping to Jubilee after she was seen in a chopper with Nairobi governor Anne Kanunu while rocking Jubilee party t-shirt and cap.
Well, Ngirici has since come out to declare her political stand after months of speculations. Addressing residents of Kirinyaga county, she stated that she was in UDA to stay.
Ngirici told off those advocating for formation of a tribal party belonging to Kikuyu saying that the UDA party belongs to the people of Mt Kenya mostly.
She argued that UDA belongs to the Kikuyu people since even the Secretary General of the party is a Kikuyu who comes from Murang’a County.
“UDA ni yenu, kwanza secretary general ametoka Murang’a, UDA ni chama yenu sanasana wakikuyu. (UDA is yours, even the Secretary General comes from Murang’a County. UDA is your party mostly the Kikuyu community),” Purity Ngirici said.
