Jubilee politicians have accused Deputy President William Ruto of allegedly interfering with Nyamira gubernatorial election petition appeal in favour of the opponent.
Last Thursday, photos of Governor John Nyagarama with Ruto were leaked with the two having said to have held a closed door meeting for the better part of the day.
Even though county communication team termed the meeting 'developmental', Jubilee politician Walter Nyambati has however smelled betrayal.
"There is nothing to fear because the governor met the DP to discuss about development in the county. Treat contrary information with contempt," read the statement.
But according to Nyambati, Ruto is silently trying to save the governor from the appeal as part of his 2022 plans.
"Development meetings are held in official offices and not in someones's home. We are following the matter with a lot of interest," he said.
Early this month, Nyambati launched an appeal in Kisumu where he asked the court to quash High Court ruling that upheld Nyagarama's victory.
