Ruto: My Votes Cannot be Stolen Because I'm Too Smart
Deputy President William Ruto has played down concerns of vote-rigging in the forthcoming elections.
Ruto, who is presently on a tour of the United Kingdom, assured his diaspora supporters that the August 9th presidential election will be free and fair, saying he has trust in the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).
While describing himself 'too smart', the deputy president stated that he is not the kind of person whose votes can be stolen.
“If you look at me properly, I am not the type that anybody can steal their votes from. It is not possible,” Ruto was quoted by Nation.
He was speaking on Monday during a Question-and-Answer session at the Holiday Inn Hotel in London, where he held a meeting with supporters of his United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party in the UK.
“Let me give you my word that this election will not be stolen and I have full confidence in our electoral processes,” he added.
Ruto noted that he is not worried about his votes being stolen since the only thing his main competitors in the Azimio La Umoja led by ODM leader Raila Odinga can do is to “cause violence.”
“However, even on that, we shall not allow to,” Ruto remarked.
The deputy president continued to poke holes in the 2018 handshake between President Kenyatta and Odinga, claiming it derailed development and killed the opposition.
“I have seen how effective, simple, concrete decisions can change a nation. I have also seen how simple, wrong decisions can also take us backwards. After 2017, we had the Big 4 plan,” said Ruto.
He added: “But then we made a simple decision called the handshake, and then it became the BBI, and then it became a circus and we lost four years, the ruling party collapsed, the opposition collapsed and we ended up in null and void.”
During his tour in the US last week, Ruto claimed there was an attempt to influence the outcome of the upcoming elections and called on the US and the international community to intervene.

Ruto is dumb as a rock! All he talks about is his ghosts steal the 2022 elections from the smart guy my foot. Stop your nonsense Ruto!
Not too fast Ruto! You ain’t all that smart to go around the world disparaging your own country. How smart is that treasonable act Ruto?
You want him & others willing to speak up to lie about Kenya? Kenya is no more due to corruption, destructive loans, high rate of inflation & cost of living! We can’t afford to survive here any longer!
What WSR is doing is the equivalent of calling someone a bed-wetter. It's the truth but he has benefited from it and wouldn't change without handshake.
DP Ruto lied every time in opened his mouth in America and England. Ruto is the king of corruption in Kenya. He has stolen everything kenya owns and now he is lying about it with a fake corruption talk. I’m surprised you would support a DP Ruto who have dried the coffers of kenya with theft.
“If you look at me properly, I am not the type that anybody can steal their votes from. It is not possible,” Said Ruto.
"I am smart in this game of stealing and I have graduated to be a professor in the field, so mark my words".
I see a murderer in Ruto when I look at him closely. I don’t even like to look at this conman closely because I may be attempted to slap the shit out of him.
I hope Kenyans wake up very soon to realize Ruto does not need to come close to the seat of power because many Kenyans will die because Ruto is blood thirsty beast.
Please read between the LINES.
One day RUTO is asking the WEST to help stop rigging this year's election, the next day, he's too smart to be rigged out.
So, what transpired in USA??
WHAT GUARANTEES WERE GIVEN??
I still stand by my narrative of the WEST will stand with RUTO and he is one smart guy.
Ruto is a very confused man. He thinks everyone is as confused like he is. Unfortunately there some fools out who buy Ruto’s crap. Ruto is worse that Hitler of Germany. He will kill Kenyans enmass if he ever ascend to power. He has done it before and he will do it again!
Comrade Ole Moseleti,
AIN'T the MASSES dancing to RUTOS tune?
He KNOWS how to manipulate. He KNOWS exactly what the MASSES want to hear.
He KNOWS the Mia BILI BILI philosophy.
He Understands that KENYANS use their bellies to think DURING elections.
Now AIN'T that smart?
You got it. The Americans and the British would never allow Raila to become president of this colony.
You got it. The Americans and the British would never allow Raila to become president of this sovereign colony.
Makamu wa Rais Ndugu Kipchirchir Samoei Aap Ruto:
Ningependa kujua: Tangu uingie kwenye siasa 1992, umefanyia WaKenya kitu gani? Ni kiwanda gani ulichojenga nchini ili wanaomaliza masomo yao chuoni waweze kupata ajira?
Ningependa usikilize vidiyo klipu ifuatayo halafu utoe maoni yako juu yake.

Ruto has done a lot of stealing since 1992. He is the man who stole for Moi with pure immunity.
Jirango can tell you how Ruto has stolen from Kenya coffers but now he is calling the poor Kenyans to be bottom up to stay poor all their life!
Does Ruto really appear to be smart? Why is he so insecure to keep reminding others that he is smart? A true conman and a thief!
I agree that Ruto is very sharp when it comes to telling lies. There is a video out there where Ruto says the job of hiring civil servants is shared by him and the president.
But he has denied that he was involved by the president in hiring government workers. Is this a sharp lie by Ruto or just mere stupidity? Huyu Ruto ni mjinga sana.
Liar, Liar, liar! Not sure why Ruto always lies provable lies. It is a shame to have a DP that lies so much! Ruto cannot be trusted.
Sounds a lot like what Trump would say. Stable Genius! Make up your mind. Is the vote being stolen or not? You can't have it both ways.
Oh yes, you are too bright. No wonder you can cheat the public using the Hasler slogan. You are too smart that you have kept all the money you stole from the government in your home because you could not get to the central bank to exchange for new currency. You are too smart to kill people in the rift valley and use their representatives to support you (Kihika and the rest of the fools). You are too bright that you can use the boda boda to take law into their hands and undress a woman. Do you think you are smart or just plain EVIL.
Keep it straight my friend. Your lies are catching up with you. Rudi nyumbani upumzike kidogo. Hakuna haja ya kusema hivi leo alafu kesho unasema the opposite. You sound confused my friend.
There is nothing Ruto got that makes him a smart guy! He called Atwoli a foolish man without realizing COTU leader commands a huge chunk of votes. How smart is Ruto denying himself those votes?
Ruto is not even smart when he steals from Kenyans. Just look at the shs 21 billion he stole from his own tribe? It was meant to build dams to help with his own community.
This is where MP Keter says that Ruto amewaimbia na wao pia. Ruto is a useless man and I don’t understand why some Kenyans do not get that Ruto is a conman.
I never thought people in USA would welcome Ruto warmly in that cold country. I was expecting hecklers and picketers only to be surprised by dancing women and men lining to shake his hand.
My Votes Cannot be Stolen Because I'm Too Smart...
Come on I thought Ruto has only one vote..is this a misquote..people's VOTE AMA..OOPS SWAHILI TRANSLATION ..BUT STILL NO NO..
He’s won the hearts of the majority despite his tarnished image! Kenyans do NOT care for morals or integrity, they’ll vote For anyone resonating with them that’s all!
Other qualifications don’t matter! Just speak their tune!
No one turnished DP Ruto’s image but himself. You don’t kill women and children and then expect your manage to stay intact. You can simply see Ruto is a disturbed man. The ghosts of those he has killed are constantly tormenting him. There will never be a Ruto presidency in kenya. That I can assure you.
