Duale explains why Raila will endorse Ruto for president come 2022

National Assembly Majority leader Adan Duale on Saturday 17 November said that the people of Nyanza will vote for Deputy President William Ruto come 2022.

Mr Duale said this is possible since the DP made National Super Alliance (NASA) Coalition leader Raila Odinga become the Prime Minister after the Post-Election Violence in 2007.

“The only community that made Raila a PM was the Kalenjin. That is why you should not be surprised to see Raila endorse Ruto for the presidency in 2022,” said Mr Duale.

“Ruto stood with Raila after the 2007 elections and made him the Prime Minister. Therefore he is indebted to the Deputy President and should pay the political debt by supporting Ruto in 2022,” he added.

During the Pastoralists Parliamentary Group meeting (PPG) that was held at the Nyali Sun Africa Beach Hotel in Mombasa that saw 107 legislators and Senators from Arid and Semi-Arid regions, Mr Duale urged the legislators to support Ruto in 2022. He said that they have to ensure a ‘pastoralist’ gets to State House after President Uhuru Kenyatta.

“We must ensure that a pastoralist gets to State House after President Uhuru Kenyatta and you know what I am talking about,” Duale said.

Duale, later thanked the Members of Parliament (MPs) for electing him as the patron of the PPG for the next five years.

“Many thanks to Members of Parliament for showing confidence in my leadership and electing me as the PPG Patron for the next 5 years. We will work together in both national and county government’s issues including insecurity, devolution, education and infrastructure,” Duale posted on his social media pages.
