Deputy President Dr William Ruto’s journey to statehouse continues to face more downfalls as his road becomes more bumpy and slippery each day.
The second man in command might be busy insulting ODM leader Raila Odinga wrongfully! Is Raila the only political nemesis Ruto should watch ahead of 2022?
Well, there are a lot of his political detractors in his own Rift Valley backyard who want to deny him 2022 Prrsidency.
According to Kapseret Member of Parliament Oscar Sudi, there are some politicians from the region who are working day and night to ensure that Ruto does not get the throne come 2022.
Sudi who was speaking in Ngeria on Friday alleged that some leaders from the DP’s home turf are being used by some politicians to fight the deputy president.
“There are some politicians from the region being used to fight the deputy president’s bid to become president. My friend you will not succeed. Come rain or shine Ruto will be the president,” said the second-term MP.
The outspoken politician named businessman-cum politician Zedekiah Buzeki who has hence dumped Ruto for Chama cha Mashinani, Cherangany MP Joshua Kutuny, his Moiben counterpart Silas Tiren and former Bomet Governor Isaac Ruto as some of the politicians allegedly being used to scuttle the deputy president’s 2022 bid.
“They want to use them so as to create an impression that the Rift Valley region has shifted its support in order to make Ruto concentrate on campaigning in his backyard. We know their plans and they will not succeed in their bid,” added the Kapseret legislator.
