National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi has declared he is ready to serve Kenyans as President Uhuru Kenyatta's successor.
Muturi's supporters are also determined to package him as a 2022 presidential candidate, believing he is a safe bet for bringing the community in Mt Kenya region together.
"Ready to serve!" the speaker wrote on social media on Monday.
The Njuri Nceke Council of Elders, the Kiama Kiama Kikuyu Council of Elders, the Embu and Mbeere Cultural Elders, as well as religious leaders have approached the 64-year-old regarding being the kingpin of the region.
He was at the Saturday Sagana meeting which was expected to end with the crowning of an interim kingpin. However, that never materialised.
The president affirmed that he was still in charge and that he would continue leading the region at the negotiations table. Nevertheless, it is said that after his retirement, there will be a leadership vacuum in the region.
