NAIROBI, Kenya Jun 16 \u2013 Deputy Party has announced that it will field Newton Kariuki, popularly known as Newton Karish, as its candidate in the upcoming Mbeere North by-election.<\/p>\n
Party leaders Lenny Kivuti and Justin Muturi described Karish, who currently serves as Muminji MCA, as a dedicated servant leader, grounded in strong values and committed to championing the needs of the electorate.<\/p>\n
\u201cTogether with Hon. Lenny Kivuti and a host of other leaders, I was proud to unveil Newton Kariuki (popularly known as Newton Karish) as the Democratic Party\u2019s official candidate for the upcoming Mbeere North by-election. Karish is no stranger to service, his leadership in Muminji speaks for itself,\u201d Muturi stated.<\/p>\n
The Mbeere North seat fell vacant after former MP Godfrey Ruku resigned following his appointment as Cabinet Secretary for Public Service and Human Resource Development.<\/p>\n
President William Ruto dismissed Muturi from Public Service Cabinet docket following a fallout over the abduction of his son by the National Intelligence Service (NIS) in June 2023.<\/p>\n
Muturi\u2019s sacking on March 26, marked the peak of a fallout with President William Ruto after sustained tensions over rising abductions which the former Attorney General has blamed on government.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
