‘Wacheni Mungu Aitwe Mungu': Deputy President William Ruto Says as ODM Suffers Defeat in By-Elections

Deputy President William Ruto has celebrated the defeat of Raila Odinga's Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) in the Embakasi South and Ugenya by-elections.

Julius Mawathe of Wiper clinched the Embakasi South seat after trouncing ODM’s Irshad Sumra.

In Ugenya, Raila's political bedrock, David Ochieng of little-known Movement for Democracy and Growth (MDG) defeated his ODM counterpart Christopher Karan with more than 7,000 votes.

On Saturday morning, Ruto penned an emotional message to congratulate Mawathe and Ochieng.

Ruto says the victory of the two candidates who thrashed rivals from ODM is ‘God-given’ and a win for the 'hustler' nation.

“CONGRATULATIONS Ochieng (Ugenya) & Mawathe (Embakasi) for your God-given victory. Jameni wacheni MUNGU aitwe MUNGU. The hustler nation has spoken, the people have decided. GLORY TO THE ALMIGHTY GOD,” Ruto says in a tweet.

ODM's Sumra conceded defeat even before vote tallying concluded.

“I am a veteran in politics, I have my numbers and I just want to say that this time I lost fair and square because my finishing was poor. It was a lack of planning on my part I will not shift blame to anyone,” said Sumra.

mkristo Ruto anaabudu "mungu" yupi? Inaonekana wazi ya kwamba mungu wake ni mwizi, mwongo, mwenye uroho (greed) tapeli na pia jambazi!

Nakuomba mkristo Ruto uwache kumchezea MWUMBAJI MKUU aliyekupa AKILI ili uitumie vizuri bila kuwaumiza wanyonge na wasio na uwezo kama wako.

@Mlachake:

Waswahili husema, "Elimu haina mwisho." Pia huendela kusema, "Jini likujualo halikuli likakwisha."

Ili tukate minyororo ya kukubali kuadharauliwa na kufanyiwa masiraha karibu na dunia nzima, itatubidi kushirikiana pamoja kimawazo na kuondoa fikira ambazo zinatufanya tuzubae na kukubali kufanyiwa karibu kila kitu na wageni.

Ninapoona jinsi tunavyojichukia kiwango ambacho tunabadilisha rangi ya ngozi yetu, tunanyoa nywele za asili ya Afrika, wanawake wetu wanavaa nywele za bandia, tunachukia lugha zetu, imani ya mababu zetu, chakula karibu chote cha mababu zetu, heshima ya mababu zetu, karibu mila zetu zote za mababu zetu, HAKUNA BINADAMU YEYOTE DUNIANI NZIMA ATAKAYEMHESHIMU MWAFRIKA!

Ruto should stop taking credit where he never sow! The defeat of ODM has nothing to do with Ruto! People, for the most part, are just tired of all these politicians and their chiefs including Raila, Ruto, Kalonzo, Uhuru and the likes. It’s just a matter of time until massive sweep that will claim all these politicians to usher in new minds and young progressive leaders with different way of thinking. People are tired or tribal arithmetic perpetuated by current politicians of which Ruto and Raila are some of the culprits.

Ili tuwe na viongozi wanaofaa wakati wa uchaguzi baada ya awamu ya pili ya Ndugu Uhuru na mkristo Ruto,ni lazima WAFULA CHEBUKATI aondolewe kazini mara moja.

2022,mtu yeyote anayetaka kugombea kiti chochote cha uongozi nchini, itamlazimu apate cheti cha kuwa binadamu anayefaa kutoka kwa idara zifuatazo:

1. Mkuu wa polisi mpya Ndugu Mutyambai
2. Mkuu wa upelelezi . Ndugu Kinoti
3. Kamati inayochunguza mambo ya rushwa na ufisadi nchini.

Tukifanya hivyo, Kenya itafufuka tena mara moja na kupata viongozi wazuri kuliko viongozi wote duniani. Kenya itajulikana duniani na kupata sifa kama nchi iliyo mfano mwema katika nchi 195 ambazo zimo kwenye sayari yetu ya ardhi.
