Speaking in Nyeri County last year, Ruto have his first hint, suggesting that the same could be Mathira MP Rigathi Gachagua, while asking his constituents to let the MP help him crisscrossing the country for votes.
On Wednesday, he repeated the hint, only that this time he also added Kandara MP Alice Wahome into the list, even inviting them to speak after him in Nakuru.
In his speech, he also repeatedly referred to them, which, in addition to the breach of protocol, suggested that he is considering one of them as his possible Deputy President in the event he wins.
“Rigathi Gachagua anatosha, Alice Wahome anatosha, Moses Wetang’ula anatosha, Musalia Mudavadi anatosha, hustler anatosha,” the DP said as is quoted by The Star.
The development comes a few days after Nominated Senator Isaac Mwaura said that it is indeed true that one of the mentioned leaders could take the slot.
In an interview on Monday, he said that this is why the two, and Kirinyaga governor Anne Waiguru, were the only Ruto allies who spoke during ANC’s NDC meeting at the Bomas of Kenya on Sunday, where the Ruto-Mudavadi union was announced.
“There is a reason as to why Alice Wahome, Ann Waiguru and Rigathi Gachagua were given the chance to speak at Bomas in that order,” the leader, an ally of Ruto, said on KTN News.
The Ruto-Mudavadi union has also sucked in Ford Kenya leader Moses Wetangula, with the interesting part now being what will follow given that all the three have declared interest in the presidency.
