Narc Kenya leader Martha Karua has explained why she had to support DP William Ruto in the last election.
However, Karua has said she will not support the DP come 2022. The Kirinyaga gubernatorial loser also stated that she only supported President Uhuru Kenyatta and William Ruto was just a beneficiary by virtue of being a deputy president.
Speaking during an interview on NTV’s Side Bar, Karua said that she will not be honouring the Mt Kenya promise to DP Ruto. She maintained that this is a choice similar to the one she made to support the duo in the August and October repeat polls.
"My support was basically for President Uhuru and yes, I knew his deputy was William Ruto. In the last election, I supported a ticket which had two people but my main support was to President Kenyatta. Once you support a candidate, it's like a governor ticket, you support both. There are many people when we were running for governor who would say 'what about your deputy?' and those who would telly my deputy, 'what about the governor? But if you really want to support that person, you support both," said Karua as reported by Tuko.
