Salat said since the Kalenjin supported President Uhuru Kenyatta in 2013, Ruto should ask for Mt Kenya support in next year’s polls.

“Go for it. We have no more debts with anyone,” Salat said.

Uhuru has publicly assured Ruto of his support in his 2022 bid for the presidency.

The Jubilee Party has picked Uhuru as its flagbearer for next year’s elctions with Ruto as his running mate.
