Deputy President William Ruto's days in government are numbered, National Super Alliance (NASA) co-principal Musalia Mudavadi has said.
The Amani National Coalition (ANC) party leader said Ruto, together with his boss President Uhuru Kenyatta, will be voted out by Kenyans in the forthcoming August 8 general elections.
Speaking when NASA leaders took their campaigns to Trans Nzoia County, Mudavadi laughed at the DP’s claim that the Opposition alliance principals were in government for many years but did nothing for the country.
“Both Uhuru and Ruto were also in power. Ruto was a minister in Kibaki’s government but what did he do?" Mudavadi posed on Thursday.
The former Vice-President added: “He was fired due to corruption and incompetence. This time he will not be fired by his boss but voted out by the Kenyan people.”
He dismissed Western Kenya leaders supporting President Kenyatta's reelection, saying they are only serving their own selfish interests.
"They are not in Jubilee to serve the interests of the Luhya community, they are just a group of self-seekers," the NASA leader remarked.
Among the Luhya leaders in Jubilee include; Water Cabinet Secretary Eugene Wamalwa, Bungoma Governor Kenneth Lusaka, Budalang'i MP Ababu Namwamba and a host of legislators from the region.
Mudavadi was accompanied by his co-principals Raila Odinga, Kalonzo Musyoka and Moses Wetang'ula and other Opposition leaders.
