The above mentioned People want to be leaders in Muranga County.
Governor Mwangi Wa Iria is seeking his reelection through Jubilee Party which is the single most political vehicle in Muranga County. He is battling it out with Hon Jamlec Kamau who has represented Kigumo for 10 years. A Gubernatorial looser of 2013 Elections Dr. Moses Mwangi Ndungu is also in the race.
As the date for the Nominations inches closer it's almost certain that the Gubernatorial post will be between Wa Iria and Kamau.
Ruth Wangari Mwaniki, a former CEO for Exports Promotion Council and KPCU is among the Aspirants who want to succeed Hon Jamlec Kamau in Kigumo constituency. As the d day for nomination draws near Mwaniki has greater chances of becoming the next Kigumo Mp.
Elias Mbau, a former Mp and chair for CDF Board, Mbau served for 10 years having been elected in 2002 but lost to Wambuku in 2010.
Governor Mwangi wa Iria and Hon Jamlec Kamau were great friends. They used to dine, reason and decide together. It is rumoured that they parted ways after the Kigumo legislator summoned Wa Iria at a hotel in Nairobi together with a handful Mcas led by Muranga County Assembly Majority Leader Peter Irungu Kihungi with an aim of brokering a truce after a fallout between him and the Mcas. The "Reconciliation" meeting was conducted after the Executive led by Wa Iria proposed the appointment of Mr. Ngera something that did not auger well with the Assembly. It is alleged that Governor left the meeting un ceremoniously asking Kamau not to Lord and micro manage him on Governance. It was from that point that Kamau and WA Iria do not see each other.
Ruth Wangari Mwaniki, who is said to be Kamau's former spouse before their marriage hit the rocks is out to Succeed Kamau. KK online News has learnt that Ruth supports the reelection bid for Governor Mwangi wa Iria something that could be making Kamau to have sleepless nights. About a month ago, a facebook post allegedly written by Ruth Mwaniki, asked her supporters not to vote Jamlec saying that 'He has done mess to Kigumo Constituency" Our efforts to get Miss Mwaniki to clarify whether it was her Account bore no fruits as her calls went in answered.
Elias Mbau a former Maragua constituency Mp was an influential chair of Budget Committee in National Assembly. He was elected in 2002 while Kamau got his luck in 2007.
There are perceptions that it Was Hon Jamlec who sponsored Wambuku's campaigns in 2010, so as to Dehorn Mbau's influence and popularity in and outside Government. Those who understands Politics say it was the Supremacy battles that made Kamau support Wambuku financially and morally. "Wambuku had nothing he was a dealer in mobilephones at Mombasa, he did not want to vie but was persuaded to by Kamau," one of Maragua residents told KK online.
If the above analysis is something to go by, Hon Jamlec Kamau must win the Gubernatorial seat and failure to do so might render him political oblivion and hence his political deathbed.
Should Jamlec Kamau lose his gubernatorial quest and fail to get the Jubilee Party ticket, chances of him defecting to a smaller and friendlier political party are nill since there is a perception out there that he knows who is who in the Government and therefore he would not want to be seen as he is going against the wishes of the President, the Party's leader.
