COTU Secretary General Francis is sure that Deputy President William Ruto will not be victorious in next year’s Presidential election.
Since the handshake between President Kenyatta and opposition leader Raila Odinga in 2018, a rift developed. This led Ruto to publicly criticize the current regime instead of supporting it.
Thus it will end up ruining his chances of occupying State House once President Uhuru Kenyatta’s tenure is over.
“If you are a deputy aspiring to be a president in future, you have to support the person currently in power until the end of his term. By doing so, he will also support your bid. You will improve your chances and if you stay humble you will get into office easily.” Said Atwoli.
“How did every county government within the mountain region accept the BBI proposal when many thought that they would be against it? If you are to ask the Mountain region for votes you have to go through the leadership of the area. Ruto is not a son of Wanjiru or Wambui so he cannot handle the mountain region,” said Atwoli.
