A plan by some Luhya leaders to have one presidential candidate in 2022 elections may be scuttled after several local politicians threw their weight behind Deputy President William Ruto. 

Amani National Congress (ANC) leader Musalia Mudavadi, Ford Kenya’s Moses Wetang’ula and Kakamega Governor Wycliffe Oparanya have all shown their interest in the Presidency.
