Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru has warned leaders against rushing to decamp to former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua's camp.
Speaking in Kirinyaga County on Tuesday, February 18, the county boss noted that many of the leaders were making the political move without thinking through things.
In particular, she opined that many of the leaders were rushing to Gachagua's camp with the hope of getting the party ticket- something that was not a guarantee.
She also added that the leaders were not thinking through whether the former DP would be on the ballot come 2027.
Therefore, she called on leaders, especially those from Mt Kenya not to be misled and to stay in President William Ruto's government for development programmes.

"Don't be in a hurry because even where you are being told to go, there is no guarantee that you will get the party ticket. Even in his (Gachagua) party, there will be others who will want that seat," she cautioned.
"You can be in a rush to join them and yet you miss out on the ticket. Go slow. Ask yourself, will he be on the ballot? Let us wait and see, this is the time to work and go and get development from the national government."
Gachagua has been meeting leaders across the country at his Wamunyoro home as he strategizes to form an alliance ahead of 2027.
Already, he detailed that he would be unveiling his political party in May.
"Our vehicle is ready. It is in the showroom, a brand-new vehicle. However, I will not name the number plate and its colour.
"Our enemies might sabotage its launch but we will unveil in May 2025 and we will start opening offices and allow all Kenyans to join," he said during a media interview on February 9, 2024.
