Deputy President William Ruto’s attempts to forestall a looming fallout with his allies Chama Cha Kazi leader Moses Kuria and Tujibebe Wakenya’s William Kabogo failed yesterday after the two Kiambu leaders boycotted a campaign meeting convened by the DP in Ndumberi, Kiambu County.

Ruto has maintained silence on the altercation that saw Senator Kimani Wamatangi clash with Kabogo on Wednesday before his running mate Rigathi Gachagua much to the chagrin of his supporters in the Mt Kenya region.
