Deputy President William Ruto has urged Western Kenya to rally behind the Jubilee Party during the August general poll.

Speaking in Bungoma county on Monday, Ruto said that residents should not vote for NASA since the coalition had no agenda foe Kenya.

Ruto addressed rallies in Likuyani, Ndalu, Kapsokwony, Mumias, and Malava grounds in Bungoma and Kakamega counties respectively.

He further stated that NASA will have a hard time to win the next polls due to lack of plans.

"Their (Nasa) aim is to divide the people along the ethnic line, with the aim of wooing their support, at the expense of uniting them."

"No one votes with the intention of losing but to win. This is why you should vote for Jubilee as it is destined to win the next election," Ruto said.

The Deputy President said Kenyans want to have a peaceful election which will be based on the development track record of the contestants.

"There is no way Raila Odinga can beat Jubilee which has in only four years initiated many projects which have been felt by the people."

Ruto had returned in the area just two weeks after President Uhuru Kenyatta’s visit.
