Why campaign against DP Ruto's 2022 presidency will be futile

The decision by some leaders in Mt Kenya region to incite voters against supporting Deputy President William Ruto's plan to succeed President Uhuru Kenyatta come 2022 will not yield fruit. It has become evident that the crusade is being spearheaded by leaders who were not elected in the August 8 elections and who now claim that Ruto is to blame for their loss.

Apart from Nyeri Town MP Ngunjiri Wambugu, who has come out openly to say Central Kenya's support for Ruto in 2022 is not guaranteed, the rest who are singing that tune are those who believe the Deputy President is partly to blame for their failure to capture or recapture their seats. Mr. Wambugu’s stance on Ruto is not new because he has always been opposed to the DP if what he has been doing from the time he was an activist is anything to go by.
