Deputy President William Ruto has once again claimed there is a plot to rig the August 9 presidential election.
Ruto alleged to have information of some discreet plans to steal his victory but warned he had put in place watertight mechanisms to ensure it doesn’t happen.
“I know this is a tight race pitting me and the so-called system, but some people forget that even me I have been, and I am part of the system,’’ he said yesterday.
Ruto said detractors who wish him and his team ‘electoral doom’ will be in for a rude shock when elections are finally held in August.
“We have relentlessly spent time wooing the people and we will not allow a fraction of capitalists to sit in a hotel and decide for us who will be the next President,’’ he declared.
The Deputy President was addressing crowds at Isebania border town in Migori county where he took his bottom-up campaign aimed at solidifying his grassroots support.
Ruto’s visit to Migori and particularly Kuria comes amid his endorsement on Saturday by elders in Eldoret to run for president without fear.
Yesterday, Ruto arrived at Isebania Catholic Parish shortly after 11am and joined other worshippers at the service.
He was flanked by MPs Marwa Kitayama (Kuria East), Mathias Robi (Kuria West), Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango), Vincent Kemosi (West Mugirango), and Ndindi Nyoro (Kiharu).
Only Robi and Ruto were allowed to address the mourners.
He spoke as ODM leader Raila Odinga also declared that he is leaving nothing to chance as he continues to popularise his Azimio La Umoja movement also aimed at uniting Kenyans.
