Suna East MP Junet Mohammed argues that DP William Ruto was hoodwinked by President Uhuru Kenyatta and that he will never win presidency.
The DP has since endorsed reelection of Uhuru on condition that he returns the favour in 2022 elections which he is poised to go for the top seat.
But Mohammed says Kenyatta will not have much influence by then due to emergrncy of other leaders in the Central region.
“Ruto cannot be supported by Central Kenya and that is a fact. They are just giving him a pledge which I know they will not honour,” he said at a rally in Ndanai.
He further said: “They should have supported him now and not then. That is why it is safe to support Raila Odinga’s bid.”
Already, a section of central Kenya leaders have waged a war against Ruto by insisting that he is not guaranteed of support in 2022.
They include Kiambu Governor William Kabogo and Peter Kenneth who accuse him of plotting their downfall during Jubilee nominations.
