Despite opinion polls and pundits especially Makau Mutua
saying Eldoret North MP William Ruto is facing a tough rebellion in his community,
the charismatic leader has managed to deliver 90 percent of the Kalenjin vote to
Jubilee basket.
In North Rift, the area perceived to be Ruto’s backyard
Jubilee coalition Presidential candidate Uhuru Kenyatta got 90 per cent of
votes cast.
Ruto, who is also the United Republican Party (URP) leader,
delivered majority seats, which means Jubilee coalition will have majority
representation in parliament.
Opinion polls companies led by Infotrak and Harris hde
earlier said Uhuru may not even manage 60 percent of the Kalenjin vote, but the
brilliant Eldoret North MP has proved them wrong.
According to Ruto, his alliance with Uhuru provided the best
medicine to heal the rifts between the Kikuyu the Kalenjin communities.
Speaking on Thursday at Bomas, Ruto still exuded confidence
that they will clinch the Presidency in round one and Uhuru Kenyatta will be
the fourth President of Kenya with him as the Deputy.
