Uasin Gishu County Assembly speaker David Kiplagat has noted that the Rift Valley region will campaign, and vote for Deputy President (DP) William Ruto in the 2022 presidential race.
Speaking in Eldoret town on Thursday, Kiplagat said Ruto is the region's undisputed presidential candidate.
"We can allow residents to vote for other people regardless of their political parties, but when it comes to the presidency, the votes will be put in one basket that is for William Samoei Ruto," he said.
According to the speaker, anyone who goes contrary to the Ruto wave, will face the wrath of voters.
"Any plans to bring other candidates apart from William Ruto will not succeed since we have already made our choice," Kiplagat said.
He vowed to move door to door campaigning for the DP, and urged residents to to support the latter's bid.
The County Assembly Speaker urged President Uhuru Kenyatta to endorse his deputy once he completes his term in office.
Kiplagat's remarks come just a few hours before Uhuru visits Eldoret town where he is set to officially open the revamped Rivatex company.
