DP William Ruto and his allies were on a campaign trail in Western Kenya, visiting Busia, Bungoma and Kakamega counties on Friday May 6.
Those who accompanied Ruto for the campaigns included ANC leader Musalia Mudavadi, his Ford Kenya counterpart Moses Wetang’ula, Moses Kuria, Boni Khalwale among other local leaders.
They first engaged locals in an economic forum at the Mungatsi Vocational and Training Institute in Nambale, Busia County before hitting the road for the campaigns
Their smooth campaign trail however turned chaotic in Kakamega as locals openly rejected them.
That happened at the time former Kakamega senator Boni Khalwale was addressing the crowd while urging them to vote for Cleophas Malala as the governor.
The rowdy youths shouted that they will vote for Fernandes Barasa, who will be vying for the gubernatorial seat on an ODM ticket and whatever Khalwalwe was saying could hardly be heard as the shouts got louder and stronger.
“Barasa is the governor. We are giving Barasa the governorship,” they shouted as Ruto’s security stood there helplessly.

While campaigning in Buchifi in Mumias West however, Ruto said that he had completed all the responsibilities assigned to him while defending himself against the resignation calls.
“I have followed the constitution and the law of Kenya. There is no responsibility that I am required to undertake constitutionally that I failed to do. There is no advice that I have been asked by the president that I have not given. There is no assignment that I have been given by the president that I failed to do,” he said.
