Deputy President William Ruto has told NASA presidential candidate Raila Odinga to prepare for a worse defeat in the upcoming presidential polls where he is set to face President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Speaking while accompanying the President and a host of other leaders allied to the Jubilee Party at the Burma market in Nairobi Friday,only moments after Kenyatta's re-election was nullified by the Supreme Court, the DP maintained that his side will prove the opposition wrong by again securing a victory in the polls.
''We won and will still win.Our competitor should prepare for humiliation because we will show him dust in the rematch,'' said Ruto.
His comments were echoed by Elgeyo Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen who said that Jubilee will win by an even bigger margin.
''This time round we are well prepared and our feet are well placed on the ground.We are going to ensure that we scoop more that 70% of the votes,'' said Murkomen.
The President, however, took the opportunity to fire salvo at the court accusing it of failing to uphold the will of the nation.
He too expressed confidence of a re-election.
