Ferdinand Waititu will be making a political comeback next year by going for the Kabete MP seat.
The former Kiambu county boss first made his intentions clear to close allies and friends last month, when he visited the DP in Karen, where it was agreed the former governor is among identified leaders across Mt Kenya assured of the UDA ticket by DP Ruto.
In January last year, Senators allied to the deputy president lost in the House after their counterparts backing President Uhuru and Raila Odinga confirmed Waititu’s impeachment and upheld the guilty verdict by Kiambu county assembly.

The three main charges on the governor were gross misconduct, abuse of office, and engaging in corruption.
“That Senate resolves to remove from office Governor Waititu for gross violation of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010, the County Governments Act, 2012, the Public Finance Management Act, 2012 and the Public Procurement and Disposal Act, 2005,” one of the charges of the former governor read.
On Sunday, Waititu was among the leaders who accompanied William Ruto to a Sunday service at the African Independent Pentecostal Church of Africa (A.I.P.C.A) Gathaithi Church in Githunguri, Kiambu County.
