ODM national chairman John Mbadi on Tuesday pleaded with Kalenjin elders to reach out to Deputy President William Ruto he can work with ODM party leader Raila Odinga.
Speaking during a ceremony at Meibeki Karona trading centre in Uasin Gichu county, where his party leader Raila Odinga was crowned Kalenjin elder, the Gwasi MP said the only chance of Ruto ascending to power was only if he teamed up with Odinga.
Mbadi insisted that Ruto had no chance of being president in 2022 through the Jubilee Party.
“They have already placed many obstacles on his way. The only way he can succeed is if he works with Raila ahead of 2022," as quoted by the Star.
Mbadi requested the community leaders to guide the DP back to ODM, adding reports indicated there was a scheme to block Ruto from succeeding Uhuru.
