Deputy President William Ruto has been handed a major boost in his quest to succeed President Uhuru Kenyatta in the upcoming August general elections.
This is after 30 elected Members of Kiambu County Assembly ditched President Kenyatta’s Jubilee party for his United Democratic Alliance (UDA).
Ruto through his official social media handles on Saturday March 12, 2022 said that the 30 MCAs believe that there should be a new paradigm shift to build Kenya’s economy from the bottom.
“The Kenya Kwanza team is growing bigger each day. 30 elected MCAs from Kiambu County have quit Jubilee and joined UDA. They believe that there should be a new paradigm shift to build our economy from the bottom. Karibuni Hustler Nation!” Ruto tweeted.
Last month, DP Ruto welcomed defectors to the United Democratic Alliance party.
Laikipia County Governor Joshua Irungu was among the leaders who officially joined the UDA.
Irungu is seeking to recapture the governor seat on a UDA Party ticket.
Other aspirants who joined UDA were Hon Joseph Gitari (Kirinyaga Central), John Ololtuaa (Kilgoris Constituency) and Josephine Koisabba (Narok County Women Representative).
