Deputy President William Ruto has announced his readiness to concede defeat in the much anticipated 2022 presidential race, which he has already declared interest in.
Speaking on Thursday, the DP said that he will not make any move to challenge the presidential results in the instance that he suffers a loss.
In an interview on Kameme FM, Ruto added that he will peacefully join the opposition and will not subject Kenyans to court petitions or demonstrations.
"Mungu akiniwezesha kama nitakuwa candidate, tukishindwa tutaenda upinzani. Hatutahangaisha wakenya na kesi, maandamano ama swearing in. (If God enables me to be the Jubilee candidate in 2022, if we lose, we will accept, we won't go to court, demonstrate or do fake swearing-ins, we will join the opposition)," he said.
He said that the culture of contesting election results has been for some time among the nation's most troublesome vices, leading to the many electoral issues after each poll.
"Shida kubwa ya wakenya in viongozi wasiokubali kushindwa. Shida ya pili ni political conmen ambao kazi yao in kudanganya wakenya. (The nation's leading problem are politicians who cannot accept defeat. The other are political conmen whose main intention is to fool Kenyans)," he added.
