Sirisia MP John Waluke has now claimed that Water CS Eugene Wamalwa will be Deputy President William Ruto's running mate during the 2022 general elections.
DP Ruto is hoping to succeed President Uhuru Kenyatta should the Head of State win a second term in office during the forthcoming general elections.
Speaking in Bungoma on Wednesday, Waluke urged the Luhya community to rally behind Jubilee, observing that the community is bound to real big from the ruling party.
“Luhyas have to have a stake in the Jubilee government and that is why we have picked Wamalwa. He will be Ruto’s DP in 2022 after Uhuru finishes his 10-year term,” he said.
“You have seen what the Jubilee government has done for you, vote us back and continue reaping,” he added.
The lawmaker further hinted at vying for the Bungoma gubernatorial seat in 2022.
