Nyandarua Governor Francis Kimemia has said that the Mt Kenya region will vote as a block in a bid to have their share in the next government.

Governor Kimemia, who acts as the Central Region Economic Block (CEREB) chair, has urged the residents to decide wisely, given that the region cannot afford to be locked out of the next government.

Kimemia, who is supporting ODM leader Raila Odinga’s presidential bid in 2022, noted that there was going to be a major revolution taking place in the country and the vote-rich region must make sure that it is the next government.

"There is going to be a major revolution in this country and we cannot afford to be out of the government. Whatever it takes, we must be in the next government," said Kimemia.

Speaking during the homecoming of Jubilee nominated Senator Isaac Ngugi, Kimemia added that the 2022 politics is about the region's interests and called on the leaders and residents to vote fully for one candidate who has their best interests at heart.

On his part, Senator Ngugi who was nominated by the ruling party to replace the late Isaac Prungei said, it would be extremely painful for people from Mt Kenya region to decide not to be in the next government.

"I urge our people to know that it will be extremely painful to be out of government, the counties that have worked with the national government are very far and it should never be joked about here that we will just allow others to take over," said Ngugi.
