Deputy President William Ruto has dismissed the formation of political coalitions ahead of next year's General Election, terming the alliances signs of defeat. Speaking on Tuesday when he met with spiritual leaders from Tharaka Nithi County at his Karen Residence, the DP said Kenyans want leaders with programmes and plans on the creation of opportunities that will uplift lives of the ordinary people. "They are using outdated strategies to avoid a defeat. The era of political groupings and endorsements is over," Ruto said. "How will I fail to defeat them if you are still coalescing in tribal outfits and with no agenda to take Kenya forward."
