Bomet Governor Isaac Rutto insists that he is able to deliver Rift Valley votes to NASA coalition despite the region being perceived as a Jubilee stronghold.
Both the opposition and Jubilee administration have pitched tent in the vote rich region as vote hunt continues.
On Thursday at Kericho, Rutto said the region had shifted its allegiance due to purported mistreatment by the Jubilee administration.
“I want to assure the Prime Minister that Jubilee is a feather weight. We have been in this game for long and I am confident of victory.
“They are only good in chest thumping but August will be a sorrowful day for them. The Kalenjin community cannot continue suffering under the hands of a thief,” he said in reference to DP William Ruto.
Considered the Rift Valley kingpin, DP Ruto is fighting for his political life following rebellion waged by Governor Rutto and Baringo Senator Gideon Moi.
Odinga performed dismally in the region during the 2013 elections but the recent opinion polls show an upward trajectory in his favour.
