Ruto hosts mega rally in Eldoret attended by thousands » Capital News

NAIROBI, Kenya Jan 8 – Deputy President William Ruto hosted a mega rally in Eldoret on Saturday, where he vowed to continue popularising his quest for the presidency in the August election.

The rally at Eldoret Sports Ground was attended by several leaders who subscribe to his United Democratic Alliance (UDA) who addressed a huge crowd.

The DP pledged to fulfill every promise that the Jubilee Party made in 2013 and 2017 if elected the 5^th President in the August 9 election to succeed his boss, President Uhuru Kenyatta.

“I will pay the debt that we have on youth employment, healthcare, the transformation of agriculture. We have only 7 months and we will liberate this country from the hands of the oppressors. We are determined to take this country forward,” Ruto said at the rally attended by dozens of leaders from his United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party.

Ruto pointed out that Jubilee’s agenda was sabotaged by political opponents, in an apparent reference to former Prime Minister Raila Odinga who shook hands with Kenyatta in March 2018 for a political partnership that edged him out.

“We are where we are now because a few of us sabotaged the big plan that we had, but I am here to say that we will not be intimidated or succumb to threats. We will fulfill what the country and the people of Kenya expect from us,” the DP said.

He reiterated that he will incorporate the Big Four Agenda and his bottom-up approach model to take the country forward and serve every Kenyan regardless of tribe, political affiliation, or religion.

He further popularized his party, the UDA party in which he intends to vie after ditching Jubilee party.
