Kesses Member of Parliament Dr. Swarup Mishra has vowed to support Deputy President William Ruto's 2022 presidential bid.
Mishra said he will campaign across the country to ensure the DP clinches the seat.
"I want to state here categorically that as leaders from this region we have decided to back deputy president William Ruto and we will do all we can to ensure he becomes the president," said the Jubilee MP during Hindu celebrations in Eldoret town, Sunday.
"Anyone from the region who wants to become the president should wait until 2032. I call upon Baringo senator Gideon Moi to shelve his presidential ambitions in favor of William Ruto," added Mishra.
The entry of opposition leader Raila Odinga after an agreement with president Uhuru Kenya seem to complicate the matter but the MP insists Ruto remains the one who will vie for the top seat on a Jubilee party ticket.
"Even with the recent handshake between the opposition leader Raila Odinga and President Uhuru Kenyatta, Jubilee’s matrix on 2022 succession politics can’t be breached. Ruto is our choice and will continue being our choice," said Mishra.
