Allies of Deputy President William Ruto in Kakamega County have cautioned President Uhuru Kenyatta "not to be misled" to sideline his Deputy William Ruto and scuttle his presidential bid in 2022.
Former Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale said the battle for the control of the Jubilee party targeting key allies of Dr Ruto was meant to block him from succeeding President Kenyatta.
All President Kenyatta is doing is to scheme and sideline his deputy to pave way for Senator Gideon Moi as his successor,” said Dr Khalwale.
“We are asking President Kenyatta to know that we fully behind his deputy and we will continue supporting his presidential bid and ensure he ascends the presidency in 2022,” said Dr Khalwale.
Dr Khalwale said the deputy president was a friend of the Luhya community and he would enjoy overwhelming support from the region in 2022.
