Martha Karua, leader of the National Congress Party of Kenya, has successfully organized a significant meeting in Limuru to unite the Mount Kenya region. This event, called the Limuru III meeting, is expected to bring together at least 31 political parties to discuss pressing regional issues. Karua’s efforts mark a notable victory in her campaign for regional unity.
Despite the positive intentions, leaders from the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party, including Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah of Kikuyu Constituency, Hon. Ndindi Nyoro of Kiharu Constituency, and Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, strongly oppose the gathering. They claim that the meeting is a strategic move to divide the region ahead of the 2027 general election.
The Limuru III meeting aims to address various challenges facing the Mount Kenya region and find collective solutions. The confirmed attendance of 31 parties is expected to increase as the event progresses, indicating broad support for Karua’s initiative. However, the opposition from key UDA figures highlights the political tensions surrounding the event.
As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen how the meeting will impact the region’s political landscape.
