Deputy President (DP) William Samoei Ruto is among top politicians who are eyeing to succeed President Uhuru Kenyatta in the 2022 general election.
Ruto is banking on president Uhuru’s support especially in Mt Kenya region to be the country’s fifth president.
The former Eldoret North Member of Parliament (MP) however faces political hurdles in his push to be president.
Ruto is considered as Rift -Valley political kingpin and he is likely to battle out with Baringo Senator Gideon Moi, his fierce political rival for the regions votes in 2022.
As Ruto plans for his 2022 presidential bid, here are 3 Rift Valley female politicians he must keep to his side to be guaranteed a win.
1. Joyce Laboso
The Bomet Governor is serving his first term in office.
Ruto must get Laboso’s support to be guaranteed of South Rift votes in 2022 election.
2. Gladys Shollei
The Uasin Gishu County woman rep has become a political voice in Rift Valley.
She recently distanced herself from ‘tanga and kieleweke’ teams.
Ruto must get Shollei to back his 2022 presidential bid.
3. Margaret Kamar
The Uasin Gishu Senator has become a political name and voice in North and South Rift.
To be assured of women support from the Rift, DP Ruto must reach out to Kamar and get her backing ahead of 2022 election.
It is a matter of time before we know on whether these women will back DP Ruto’s 2022 presidential ambition.
