The Mps said that their decision is because DP Ruto has remained loyal to President Uhuru Kenyatta.
The legislators led by Bahati MP Kimani Ngunjiri, said it will be morally and politically wrong to back another presidential candidate in the 2022 elections and abandon Ruto.
“President Kenyatta went through very difficult times in the last four years and throughout Ruto has stuck with the president,” said Ngunjiri.
Ngunjiri said the few Mount Kenya politicians who are against Ruto’s bid are just a disgruntled lot.
He urged all Mount Kenya residents to be ready to campaign for Ruto in 2022.
He called on opposition leader Raila Odinga to concede defeat in the just concluded election and allow the country to move on.
