National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi has received a major endorsement ahead of the 2022 general election.

While addressing the media on April 11, the MCAs argued that in Muturi, the region has a formidable leader and representative for all.
The endorsement by MCAs follows a prior one by elders from the Njuri Ncheke, Ngome, and Embu who installed him as the region's spokesperson.
Led by Meru County Assembly Speaker Joseph Kaberia, the MCAs stated that Muturi had their full backing to negotiate on their behalf at the national scale.
