Bomet Governor Isaac Ruto will today Saturday launch his newly formed Chama Cha Mashinani (CCM) Party at Siongiroi centre in his Chepalungu home turf.
Ruto is expected to open the party offices at Siongiroi before addressing a rally.
A source told Hivisasa that the governor is expected to be joined by Kuresoi South Member of Parliament Zakayo Cheruiyot and Emurua Dikir legislator Johana Ngeno.
"He will be joined by Cheruiyot and Ngeno amongst other leaders. We need to nurture democracy in the region and we will not tolerate a one party dictatorship," said a member of the Party who is part of the planners of the rally.
Ruto has over the past said that he will not join Jubilee Party, a move that has seen him exchange bitter words with Deputy President William Ruto.
The governor last week described the Deputy President as a "dictator who should not lead the country" after the DP told him to either join Jubilee or lose his gubernatorial seat.
“I cannot sit back and watch as dictatorship is being entrenched by leaders who have a top down approach on issues. Kenya is a multiparty democracy and I have a constitutional right to belong to a party of my choice including participating in the formation of a new one,” he said.
