TSP leader Mwangi Kiunjuri addresses residents at Kirichu Trading Centre in Nyeri County during a ward-level empowerment initiative for the Mt Kenya region, where he led a delegation of President Ruto’s allies on July 25, 2025. Kiunjuri, who is spearheading the forums, said the initiative aims to engage citizens, listen to their views about the government, and popularize government projects in the region. He disclosed that they plan to visit all wards in Mt Kenya over the next six months. The move is widely interpreted as a calculated strategy to undercut the influence of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
