William Kabogo has trashed claims that United Democratic Alliance party has gained immense grounds in the Mount Kenya region.

The former governor of Kiambu County said the people from the vote-rich region will vote for candidates based on their future plans to improve the standards of living for the people of Mount Kenya.

“There is nothing like a UDA wave in Mt. Kenya. The people of the region are going to elect leaders based on their capacity to improve their livelihoods,” Kabogo said.

He reiterated that the Mount Kenya people will not entertain foreign parties as far as gubernatorial, senatorial, national assembly and county assembly elective positions are concerned.

However, he said they will relinquish the presidency to foreign political parties as they reserve the other seats for their parties.
