Deputy President William Ruto kept off politics when he visited Mt Kenya region days after President Uhuru Kenyatta told local leaders to quit early 2022 campaigns.

Ruto was in Nyeri to flag off the inaugural Dr Wahome Gakuru Memorial Marathon and thereafter attended services at churches in Nyeri town and Tetu constituencies.
