Deputy president William Ruto has been delt a severe blow after president Uhuru Kenyatta pronounced himself on his succession race that has attracted a number of candidates who plan to battle DP William Ruto in August.
The head of state declared his support for Orange democratic movement party leader Raila Odinga in a high profile event at Sagana State lodge in Nyeri county. This saw him renege on his promise to support DP Ruto made several years ago.
And now, the country’s second in command has made his first ever message to kenyans after the announcement by the head of state.
In a social media message, Ruto said that together with other leaders under the One Kenya alliance banner, he is determined to ensure that Kenya continues to make strides financially by empowering kenyans out of poverty. He steered clear of the Uhuru endorsement politics.
“Kenya Kwanza is keen on bringing new change in our country by scaling financial commitment to development. This way, we will overcome poverty and ensure all Kenyans live with dignity,” he stated.
