Mt. Kenya Region Won't Be Forced to Vote for Ruto in 2022, Former Kiambu Governor William Kabogo Says

Former Kiambu Governor William Kabogo has rekindled his rivalry with Deputy President William Ruto.

Speaking in Thika, Kabogo said that voters from the expansive Mount Kenya region will not be forced to vote for Deputy President Ruto in the 2022 general elections.

Kabogo, who suffered defeat in the hands of Ferdinand Waititu in the race to defend his seat in the August 8th election said that the region will vote for Presidential candidate of their choice and not the one being forced down their throats.

"We are not political wheelbarrows to be pushed right, left and center by anyone," said Kabogo as quoted by the Standard.

He added: "We are all here to see, keep your eyes open. The game has just started."

After Jubilee party primaries in March last year, Kabog linked Deputy President Ruto to his humiliating defeat to Waititu, saying that outcome of the nomination was predetermined.

He said Ruto was determined to have him lose the seat in a plot to eliminate him as a possible threat to his ambition of succeeding President Kenyatta.

There has been speculation that Kabogo will team up with Baringo senator Gideon Moi to prevent Ruto from ascending to state house in 2022.

However, Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria last week assured that Mt Kenya region will rally behind Ruto in 2022.

ENOUGH WITH POLITICIAN'S GREED! Kenyans will decide who the president will be, politician's can't simply hand pick anybody based on their BS!

Shut this dynasty crap mentality down. We're tied of recycling these Moi disciples: Uhuru, Mudavadi, Kalonzo, Raila, RUTO etc. 2022 presidential ticket should be Dr. Fred Matiang'i and Adan Duale / Raphael Tuju. BESIDES,who was behind the burning to death of innocent Kenyans in a church during 2007/08 PEV?

He is speaking the truth.Ruto needs to depend on the other tribes if he hopes to win as there are no promises in politics just what have you done or will do to earn my vote

Kabogo was defeated by Waititu and can only speak for other druglords.He is also being sought by Anti drug agents in America and might very soon join kina Akasas at Rikers Island.

Kabogo you were whacked by baba Yao aka Waititu hands down at the ballot box. It was a clean win, accept and move on and while you are at it please explain how Mercy Keino died.
