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).

nothing like Justice in Kenya's electoral body.this greediest must vacate the office
Your Comment : I have now believed that we do not have an independent electoral and boundaries commission , instead we have a congregation of greedy individuals out to misuse Kenyans and bring chaos to our country. #Remove them. #clean the top leadership.
Congratulations to Governor Mutua,you really deserve to lead in the best performing governors,,, those ranked last should be dealt with accordingly for misappropriating public funds
Raila was the hunter now the hunted... how do trust a hyena like Uhuru.. You both greedy... you dug your grave lie in it... What handshake.. Crap...
Babu aje zake,handshake is for all Kenyans, and Kibra believe in handshake, there4, Uhuru And Raila should have different candidates and whoever Will go through Will be thé product of handshake
Babu waja ukoloni bwana, there's no direct ticket
Hehehe, supporting somebody was not an agreement in the handshake my friends!! Remember Raila caused many to die during the era of maandamano hence Uhuru devised a method how to tame this power hungry man!! Mariga must win
Your Raila and uhuru come from different political party,. Everyone is free to handle his party issues and i salute the president for supporting mariga being the jubilee candidate. Raila is also supporting the odm candidate and no one is against that. Some people are taking handshake as political party while it's not. Please mr mp style up.
