Murang’a Governor Mwangi wa Iria\u00a0(pictured)<\/strong>\u00a0has declared his interest to run for President through his Civic Renewal Party (CRP).
\nIria argues he has the capacity to vie for Presidency in 2022 to take over from President Uhuru Kenyatta after his 10-year term expires with hopes to transform the country.\u00a0Last week, the Governor revealed his intention to run for Presidency through CRP\u00a0which was registered by\u00a0his allies\u00a0Nicholas Karwero Ndegwa, James Mwangi Macharia, and Ephnatus Githae.<\/p>\n

He said CRP will field candidates for positions of Governor, Senator, MP, and MCA, as he takes the presidential candidate ticket.
\nSpeaking at General Ihura Stadium, Muranga,\u00a0Iria called on the Mt Kenya region leaders to respect President Uhuru so that he can\u00a0deliver his promises in the remaining two years.<\/p>\n

He appealed to Tanga Tanga legislators\u00a0to stop extending their fights to President Kenyatta\u00a0and instead form part of the transformation team.”All leaders should respect the head of state as at times he is forced to speak in anger. Let me urge all to show respect to Kenyatta who is a symbol of national unity,” said the governor.<\/p>\n

“I am\u00a0ready to defend President Kenyatta to enable him to proceed with development programmes he has initiated for the country.\u00a0 The leaders have their mandate not to blame everything on the President,” said\u00a0 Iria.
\nHe urged to Murang’a leaders to back his presidential bid saying the journey needed collaboration.<\/p>\n

According to Wa Iria, Murang’a stands\u00a0a better chance of producing a presidential candidate because other parts of Central Kenya (Nyeri and Kiambu) have had their share.He spoke at\u00a0a ceremony where he presided over the disbursement of\u00a0 Sh40 million to support 1,000 needy students join to Form One in various secondary schools.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
