I won't let you down, Ruto tells home turf as he gets elders' nod

It was Deputy President William Ruto’s big day as he held what was described as the first and last rally where the Rift Valley region ‘freed’ their son to go and hunt for presidential votes.

Eldoret town did not disappoint as it gave him a hero’s sendoff, with residents and those from neighbouring counties turning up in their thousands at the Eldoret Sports Club, yesterday.

Elders from different communities offered their blessings and expressed hope that Ruto will triumph in the August 9 presidential polls.

Ruto too, assured his political home turf, Rift Valley, that he will not let them down in his bid to succeed President Uhuru Kenyatta. He thanked his political base for consistent support since 1997 when he joined politics, starting as Eldoret North MP.

“I want to thank you and say that I will not let you down. I will continue to stand firm in fighting for the rights of Kenyans. You have given me an opportunity to serve as a leader, and I will go by your wishes. I love you people,” Ruto said.

He added: “I thank leaders who have supported me for enduring intimidation and blackmail. Most of them have had their bank accounts frozen. I want to tell you that it will not take too long before we bring this issue to a stop.”
