Deputy President William Ruto on Monday night called on Kenyans to shun the opposition even as the country gears up for the August polls.
Speaking at Jubilee Party manifesto launch, Ruto claimed that the Opposition coalition NASA has no clear agenda for the country, urging Kenyans to instead reelect President Uhuru Kenyatta.
“The difference between us and them (opposition) is like night and day. There are those who are seeking leadership by blaming others. Ours is to learn from past mistakes and rectify them,” he said.
“What sets us apart from our competitors is that we have a track record. We also have a superior agenda for the country that our competitors can only copy. We welcome them to copy because it is the best,” he added.
President Kenyatta is facing stiff competition from a more united and re-energized Opposition as he seeks to recapture the presidential seat.
He will be facing off with NASA presidential candidate Raila Odinga, who has former Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka as his running mate.
