Kabogo has since declared political 'war' to his opponent saying the people of Kiambu still believe in him, and should be ready to go home.However, Ruto called on him to drop his bid, and support a Jubilee candidate, to give President Uhuru Kenyatta, and his Jubilee following a win, in Kiambu county, (Uhuru's home).According to Ruto, Jubilee will have a second term, and will likely seek a good position for the governor."I want to ask my good friend Kabogo, to leave his bid to the Jubilee candidate. We won't fail to look for a good place to place him in governmnet," Ruto said, during a rally in Kiambu town.Accompanied by Uhuru, he asked locals to come out in large numbers, August 8, and vote for Jubilee."Kiambu should lead because it is Jubilee number one. If you delay, other counties will be reluctant because the president comes from here. Lead by example by voting in large numbers and others will follow," he said, Sunday.
