Leaders from Western Kenya have termed a promise by Deputy President William Ruto to name Water and Irrigation Cabinet Secretary Eugene Wamalwa as his running mate in the 2022 General Election as an insult to the Luhya community. Toboso said only a fool would fall prey to the DP’s remarks because a running mate cannot be named five years to an election. “Ruto is playing former President Moi’s tricks where non-existent positions were dangled to communities to secure votes, but it won’t work. “ANC leader Musalia Mudavadi worked with President Uhuru Kenyatta and Ruto when they were in a tight corner during the ICC cases. Kibunguchy said Ruto and Wamalwa can’t be president and deputy because both are from the North Rift.
