Deputy President William Ruto on Tuesday took his campaigns to the Ukambani where he urged the region to back his presidential ambitions in the coming elections.

Speaking in Kitui, Ruto asked the residents not to vote for Azimio la Umoja presidential candidate Raila Odinga whom he accused of sidelining the region despite standing with him in the last election.

He also asked the Kamba community not to vote for the ODM supremo because he has duped their son, Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka by regening their 2013 and 2017 agreement and turning around to force him to support him for the third time.

“If there is a region that should not vote for that old man (Raila) in the coming elections, then it is the Ukambani since he had failed to reciprocate the support you have given him in the last two elections,” Ruto said.

Even with a Supreme Court judgement on BBI coming up tomorrow, the DP believes that it will fail to pass noting that the collapse of the BBI in the lower courts was an indication that Raila’s candidature was also doomed to fail. He insisted that the decision by both courts of Appeal and the High to ‘stop the reggae’ was an amplification of what Kenyans wanted.

In his campaigns in the Lower Eastern region, Ruto, therefore, urged the Kamba community to support his candidature assuring the region that his leadership will be about the progressive development of the country.
