Kiunjuri dismissed UDA as a regional party.. he almost called it Kalenjin.
In what appeared to be a warning to Ruto, Kiunjuri on Monday said no party would win the 2022 election without relying on regional parties.
In fact, Kiunjuri claimed that no party can boast of being a national outfit.
“They are all regional parties first trying to become national parties,” Kiunjuri said. His remarks appeared to set the tempo for yesterday's meeting.

Kuria said UDA is a foreign party
Kuria has been positioning himself as a possible running mate for the DP. He has said given the millions of voters in the region, Mt Kenya cannot afford to support 'foreign' parties in 2022.
“Nobody should tell us not to have our own parties. As the largest voting bloc in this country, we must have our homegrown parties pushing for our interests,” Kuria told the Star.
The MP has been marketing his CCK party across the region.
“As a region, we will use our own parties to negotiate with whoever is coming to look for our votes,” the politician said.

Yaani while Uhuru is lininp up national Handshake lineup... Ruto can barely control his few pawns in CRITICAL Gema block.

The problem he is a loner - if he was speaking flanked by 10 other Mps and 30 mcAS - RUto would negotiate. But for now - Ruto will ignore them.
They are going to irrelavance like Martha and Peter Kenneth - or Gideon Moi - with one MP :)
Politics 101 - before rushing to a MIC - convince your peers - get at least 10mps - to support and accompany you for at least 3 months.
Then speak on behalf of a community
Kuria said UDA is a foreign party

Pundit your propaganda now is that Ruto has direct support - while it is clear as day to the rest of us Ruto wouldn't survive a Kuria or Kiunjuri onslaught. Definitely Jubilee remnants will not be keen to board a feuding camp.
The thing with politics it is easier to say lets quit evil Jubilee or ODM - but much tougher to craft a happy home for everyone. These guys are supposed to be Ruto key cogs in Kikuyuland - instead they are attacking UDA and calling for Limuru 3 to set minimum terms of engagement with "foreigners."
These UDA problems are the GENIUS of Raila handshake decapitating Jubilee. Now it back to basics - Ruto cutting deals with pawns apende asipende.

I see they roped in Karua. These thugs are in it for themselves not any vision or hustlers. You don't want to mess with them while facing NARC 2.
Tellingly, the duo which was joined by Narc Kenya leader Martha Karua, a key political figure from the region, unveiled a forum they said will push for the interests of Mt Kenya.
A major regional conference dubbed Limuru 3 will be convened in the next 90 days, where they will set the region's irreducible minimums for negotiations with any presidential candidate, including Ruto.
“We also commit to reaching out to other like-minded leaders to broaden the forum and deepen our unity of purpose,” they said in a statement read by Karua.
