Ex-Bomet governor Isaac Rutto is set to make his first public appearance following a humiliating defeat to his bitter rival Joyce Laboso.
Since handling over a couple of weeks ago, Rutto is yet to hold joint pressers with his fellow NASA principals, raising speculations over his future.
And in a Whatsap post of Tuesday, former Kitutu Masaba MP Timothy Bosire confirmed attendance of Rutto in three rallies scheduled across Gusii.
“We invite all NASA supporters to Nyamira and Kisii as we kick start our campaigns. The team will be full even Rutto will be around,” he said on ODM Youth League.
“Everyone should come on board because this is a large family. We also challenge Gusii people who want change to be part of us,” he added.
Throughout the presidential petition in the Supreme Court, Rutto was conspicuously missing; leading to speculations that he was joining Jubilee.
His presence in opposition will help Raila Odinga campaign strategically in a region that is perceived to be a Jubilee stronghold.
