Politics is a numerical game and many had downplayed Ruto’s impact in NASA as a last minute principal.
Several political veterans as well as novices opined that Bomet governor Isaac Ruto will not add any significant numbers in the opposition coalition vote basket. However, the fearless Ruto has said he will deliver not less than 1.5 M votes to his new political partners.
“We are not going to split Rift Valley but I am going to look for NASA votes all over the region. This is not about Kalenjins, it is about liberating Kenya. There are those who will vote for DP Ruto but several will back me. I will deliver more than 1.5 M votes to NASA,” said Ruto.
The Bomet County incumbent urged leaders and the electorate to stop focusing on monetary aspects of leadership and prioritize ideas that encourage development. He said his input in NASA is majorly ideological as opposed to financial.
“I bring in NASA fresh blood, ideologies and strategies. It is not about money but development oriented ideas,” Ruto said.
The coming general election will prove if Isaac Ruto is the next Rift Valley point man or William Ruto is still the best choice in the region.
