DP William Ruto suffered yet another blow on Wednesday after three key allies switched allegiance, joining President Uhuru Kenyatta and ODM leader Raila Odinga’s camp. The three pro-Ruto visitors were Lands Chief Administrative Secretary Gideon Mung’aro, Laikipia North MP Sarah Korere and Coast businessman Suleiman Shahbal. Korere was once a staunch DP ally and an unapologetic crusader against President Uhuru and Raila’s handshake that gave birth to the Building Bridges Initiative. “Received Laikipia North MP Sarah Korere who expressed commitment to support the national programmes aimed at uniting our nation,” Raila tweeted moments after meeting the lawmaker. Once a Ruto pointman in Mombasa, Shahbal has since endorsed the handshake between Uhuru and Raila.
