Deputy President William Ruto deserves presidency in 2022, Coast politician Simon Adalla has said. According to Abdalla, the Kenyatta, Moi and Odinga families need to rally Kenyans behind the Kalenjin political kingpin until he ascends to power when that time comes. Ruto is expected to take over President Uhuru Kenyatta once he completes his second term in office.
Speaking on Tuesday through his social media account, the politician said that Ruto supported former President Daniel Moi's rule in 1992 under Youth for Kanu wing, stood with Raila until he became the Prime Minister and backed Uhuru twice for the nation’s top seat.
"The son of Sugoi gave Baba (Raila) a title 'arap Mibei' among the Kalenjin nation and delivered victory to him but he let it be stolen in 2007." He also said that Ruto has proven his loyalty to the three leaders, adding that time has come for them to reciprocate the same.
"Our DP is owed a debt by the three major political families - The Kenyattas, Mois and Odingas - that is, the Kikuyu, Kalenjin and Luo nation," he added.
Ruto is expected to lock horns with Wiper Party Leader Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka, who has expressed interest in the presidency.Source: https://www.the-star.co.ke/news/2018/01/02/odingas-kenyattas-and-mois-owe-ruto-2022-presidency-coast-politician_c1692039
