Deputy President William Ruto's remarks that he will support anyone the Jubilee party will select to vie for Presidency in 2022 has left his close allies from Gusii region in shock.
The Jubilee allied leaders led by Richard Tong'i, Nyaribari Chache MP said DP Ruto should not succumb to blackmail and pressure.
"It is shocking that DP Ruto is succumbing to unnecessary pressure which is being pressed on him. He is the preferred candidate to carry the Jubilee party ticket in 2022," he said.
The lawmaker who has been so close with DP Ruto reiterated that Jubilee party will mess if Mr. Ruto won't be the flag bearer.
Isaac Motari, a vocal Jubilee youth leader asked DP Ruto to withdraw his remarks.
"I don't agree with DP Ruto's latest remarks that he will support anyone the ruling party will select to vie for presidency. To me, I know there is not anyone special to be given the party ticket for presidency in 2022 other than DP Ruto," said Motari.
Rachael Otundo, a local politician said Ruto must be flexible and be ready for any outcome in 2022.
