Not so long ago, rumour had it that Deputy President William Ruto’s son Nick would be joining politics.
Being the eldest son of the Deputy President, it would be expected that he is being groomed to take over his father’s political career. Nick, it was claimed, was going to run for the Turbo parliamentary seat.
However, the young lawyer is said to have denied the allegations and clearly, he is not on the ballot.
However, the happy-go-lucky scion still seems to be following in the footsteps of his father. Just the other day Nick landed in a chopper at the Soweto grounds in Embakasi to drum up support for his friend and fellow youth Francis Mureithi for Embakasi East MP on a Jubilee ticket.
Accompanied by award-winning gospel singer Bahati and Ben Githae, Nick joined Francis Mureithi’s campaign rally at the Soweto slum where he asked the locals to support him (Mureithi) for the seat.
