Openly critical of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, Wamumbi told his competitors to “keep off,” making it clear that his eyes are firmly set on the highest office.

According to his succession projection, President Ruto will complete his tenure, followed by Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro, who he believes will lead the country for 10 years until 2042, when Wamumbi says it will finally be his time to take over.

A daring declaration or a long-shot dream? Only time will tell.
