Uasin Gishu gubernatorial candidate during last year's general elections Zedekiah Bundotich popularly known as Buzeki has reaffirmed his commitment to supporting governor Jackson Mandago's administration.
Buzeki lost to Mandago in one of the hotly contested gubernatorial contests in the country.
Speaking in Moiben on Sunday, the billionaire businessman said he will keep his pre-election campaign pledge of helping Mandago's administration serve locals better by helping bring in more investors using his business networks.
"I had said that the loser in this race should back the winner. We lost and I had promised that if Mandago won I would give him 200 percent support but now I increase that to 300 percent support," said Buzeki.
He, however, asked governor Mandago to reach out to all communities in the county in a bid to unify them following the campaign period that threatened to split the county into tribal lines.
Buzeki enjoyed massive support among a majority of non-Kalenjins in the county while Mandago was the favorite among the Kalenjins.
On the ongoing 2022 politics, Buzeki who remains the favorite to succeed Mandago asked elected leaders to focus on serving Kenyans as the next elections were still too far.
