Embattled opposition activist Miguna Miguna has defended Deputy President Ruto over allegations of raising political temperatures in the nation courtesy of his early campaigns.
In a tweet on Saturday, Miguna noted that Ruto is free to campaign, faulting claims that the same is undermining the Jubilee government's delivery and therefore negatively impacting on the good legacy President Uhuru Kenyatta seeks to leave.
The vocal former Nairobi gubernatorial aspirant further claimed that the current political romance between President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Deputy William Ruto is approaching its end and might not be effective in the 2022 elections.
The firebrand lawyer cautioned the DP against expecting Uhuru's backing in the poll as was reportedly agreed between the two leaders before their 2013 union, noting that Uhuru is most likely to rally behind a different person.
"I don't support William Ruto but his does his campaign undermine Uhuru Kenyatta's hypothetical legacy?" he wondered.
"The fact is that the Kikuyu Mafia like Uhuru Kenyatta has and will never support anyone except a Kikuyu for President. Uhuru is just a chip off the old chauvinistic block," he added.
Miguna's warning comes after a similar one from a section of Central leaders including former Kiambu Governor William Kabogo and former nominated Senator Paul Njoroge who have both warned him against expecting an automatic backing.
