Kivutha Kibwana, the governor of Makueni County, has rejoined the Muungano party after defecting from the Wiper Party led by Kalonzo Musyoka.
Governor Kibwana has announced that he will run for president on the Muungano party ticket and that he will officially open his campaign in Nairobi soon.
In 2017, the county head left Muungano to join the Wiper party, on whose ticket he won his second term as governor.
His time in Wiper, where he was also Chairman, was not without controversy, as he frequently battled with party leader Kalonzo Musyoka.
“There have been issues within the party, especially between myself and the party leader. I sat down with the people of Makueni and told them I could no longer be the (Wiper) party Chair and they said it was fine” the governor stated.
