Kenyan Deputy President Ruto’s Camp React After Uhuru’s Statement on 2022 Succession
Details have emerged of frantic efforts by DP Ruto’s camp after a bold declaration by President Uhuru Kenyatta that his choice of a successor in 2022 will be a shocker.
In the wake of the weighty remarks, political realignments are in the offing in DP Ruto’s Rift Valley backyard and at the center of this realignment is the DP and his political nemesis Isaac Ruto.
Cherangany MP Joshua Kutuny was quoted saying that “You can’t take the President’s remarks lightly. They mean a lot, especially when they come at a time when Kenyans are aware there was an obvious political deal for 2022. The DP should know that the master is not happy”.
Also unsettled by the remarks was Former Kipkelion MP Magerer Langat who termed it as a wake-up call to DP Ruto’s camp that President Kenyatta may renege on his promise to back Ruto’s 2022 bid.
