The newspaper focused on possible cracks in Mount Kenya with influential reactions appearing to support different presidential candidates by 2027.
With former President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Jubilee party appearing to support former Internal Security Minister Fred Matiang'i, the side of former deputy president Rigathi Gachagua appears to be Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka.
In a recent interview with the media, Gachagua seemed to ignore the Jubilee party and refer to it as “Red wheelbarrow”, a sign that he opposes the efforts of the Uhuru -led party to support Matiang'i, who Mr Gachagua has claimed to have used security forces to worry in the last general election .
The former deputy president vowed to lead his supporters in the Kenyan Mountains UDA and join the new party he will mention in May this year.
“The carpet must be cursed by our people to be encouraged to know the sponsors who are intended to divide the mountain,” Gachagua said.
However, in rebuking Gachagua, Jubilee general secretary Jeremiah Kioni said Matiang'i had a great chance to oust the president William Ruto.
“We have been campaigning for the Matiang'i agenda for a number of reasons that should not worry you. As a party we believe that you can get followers better if you only have a presidential candidate … I am our candidate and we are ready to continue the negotiations while strengthening our party,” Said Kion.
Kioni called on Mount Kenya to end the difference and united for the only reason to remove Ruto in office.
While Kalonzo appears to run for the presidency, Matiang'i has not yet been clear about his possibility of running for the presidency, despite all the signs confirmed by the feelings of those in his circle.
