NAIROBI, Kenya, Oct 26 – President William Ruto has challenged Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka to shelve his presidential ambitions and support his re-election bid in 2027, arguing that the former Vice President should return the political favour he received from him more than three decades ago.
Ruto said he campaigned for Kalonzo when he contested the Mwingi North parliamentary seat on a KANU ticket in the 1992 General Election, when the President was a member of the Youth for KANU ’92 (YK92) movement.
Speaking in Kitui County on Monday, October 26, Ruto recalled travelling to Mwingi to campaign for Kalonzo, who won the seat, and urged him to reciprocate by backing his second-term bid.
