The puzzle about who William Ruto will pick as his running mate has been unraveled by Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi who spoke on the issue during radio interview.
Speaking during an interview on Kalenjin vernacular radio station Kass FM on Tuesday November 30th, Sudi said that Ruto will pick his running mate from Mt Kenya.
The Kapseret MP disclosed that Ruto has opted to pick his running mate from Mt Kenya because the region has solidly stood behind him and definitely deserves the slot.
“We have come from far and we have completed most of the things. If there are people who have stood with us during this time, are our Mt Kenya colleagues…as things stand, 75% for the choice will go to Mt Kenya. You will not have somebody work for you and later dump him, it is not easy, we also have solid teams from Eastern, Coastal and Western as well and we have been engaging them and we hope to reach a formidable agreement by February 2022,” Sudi said.
The controversial MP however did not mention any preferred Mt Kenya politician that Ruto has settled on as his running mate.
Sudi also noted that Ruto will bring all on board and will not neglect any region should it come to power in 2022.
“We will also call on Nyanza people, bring them to the table and ask them to present their demands to us so that we can move forward together,” said Sudi.
The discussion about Ruto’s running mate comes just days after it was reported that the DP’s fiercest rival Raila Odinga could also pick his running mate from Mt Kenya.
According to the source, Raila is warming up to Mt Kenya region with the promise of a running mate coming from the region, with three names up for consideration.
