Kenya Kwanza leaders have intensified calls for President William Ruto to pick a running mate from Western Kenya, arguing that the outcome of the Ol Kalou parliamentary by-election signals waning political support for the Kenya Kwanza administration in the Mt Kenya region.
Speaking during a boda boda empowerment programme at Friends Primary School in Lwanda, Kanduyi Constituency on Friday , the leaders claimed the by-election result showed that support for the President in the Mount Kenya region could no longer be taken for granted and urged him to consolidate his political base in Western Kenya.
