In a vibrant post on X accompanied by photos from a celebratory meeting, Waiguru met with UDA grassroots leaders and newly elected polling centre officials to express gratitude for their efforts.
She emphasized the party's strong organizational machinery, crediting relentless mobilization for not only securing victory but also achieving an impressive voter turnout. "Kirinyaga has spoken loudly and decisively. UDA is unstoppable in Kirinyaga," she asserted, tagging President William Ruto, MP Gitari, and other allies under hashtags UDA and Tutam.
The remarks come after UDA's Phase III grassroots elections in Kirinyaga, where Waiguru's allied team reportedly won by a landslide, consolidating her influence and strengthening the party's structure at the polling station level. These elections are seen as critical for building a robust network ahead of national polls, ensuring voter mobilization, dispute resolution, and turnout in key strongholds.
Waiguru's confident tone signals solid ground support for the ruling Kenya Kwanza coalition in the Mt. Kenya region, a pivotal voting bloc. Her endorsement reinforces loyalty to Ruto, positioning UDA as well-prepared and unified despite past internal challenges.
The "ground is locked" phrase evokes a sense of dominance, suggesting opposition efforts may face steep hurdles in penetrating the area. Supporters view this as good news for Ruto's re-election bid, highlighting effective party organization and grassroots enthusiasm.
Critics, however, may question whether regional dominance translates nationally amid ongoing economic pressures and opposition regrouping. As 2027 draws nearer, Waiguru's message underscores UDA's strategic focus on fortifying its base, potentially giving President Ruto a significant head start in one of Kenya's most influential regions.
