Friday December 21, 2018 - Last week, Bungoma Governor, Patrick Wangamati, was among dozens of Western Kenya leaders who endorsed Deputy President William Ruto’s presidential bid in 2022. Wangamati, who even spoke during the function attended by the DP himself, said the whole Western Kenya region will rally behind Ruto’s presidential bid because he is a development oriented leader. However, one week after his declaration, Wangamati has denied endorsing Ruto saying he will instead support Bungoma Senator, Moses Wetangula’s Presidential ambitions in 2022. “Claims that I support the DP Ruto are far-fetched. As Luhyas, we have no stake in Ruto’s candidature. Those supporting him have their own personal interests," Wangamati told Sulwe FM on Friday. The County boss said that he attends Ruto’s functions in Bungoma County because the latter is the Deputy President. "And as a County, we want development in our region. That is all. We shouldn’t mix politics and development. It is too early,” he noted. He said that the entire Western Kenya will support Wetangula’s Presidency because he is a good leader who can unite the Mulembe nation.
