Supporters of Deputy President William Ruto on Sunday resurfaced with T-shirts with colours resembling those of defunct United Republican Party, a move that could raise questions over his commitment in Jubilee party.
Last week, dozens of youths poured into the streets of Kiambaa in yellow T-shirts associated with URP. They demanded that Dr Ruto address them before he left the scene for another function.
On Sunday in Nairobi, a group of DP Ruto supporters were again pictured in yellow T-shirts written 'team WSR' just before accompanying him to a function in Lang'ata and Dagoretti South constituencies.
For days now, Ruto has openly asked President Uhuru Kenyatta to part ways with ODM leader Raila Odinga, accusing the former PM of working with sections of Jubilee leaders to block his 2022 presidential bid.
Resurfacing of the attires associated with the party which Ruto used to form a coalition with President Uhuru Kenyatta could yet again raise questions about his future in Jubilee party.
"When am in Dagoretti, I remember a lot. I used to stay at Ngano. During that time, I used to pay a monthly rent of Sh1,750. Even my landlady used to be a good person. One of this fine days I'll give her a courtesy call," recalled Ruto even though as he maintained that Jubilee is intact.
"My wife and I used to come here for dates and we would later marry. Our first child was born here in Dagoretti South. So I have a history in this area," added the DP, amid cheers from the crowd.
Early this year, former Jubilee Vice Chair David Murathe insisted that Ruto should retire with President Uhuru Kenyatta. In a statement that caused cracks within the ruling party, Murathe also warned mass exodus from Jubilee party should Ruto insist of competing.
The recent developments have left DP William Ruto's allies cautious of his next step. Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei is on record for admitting that Dr Ruto could source for another party ahead of 2022 polls.
