Deputy President William Ruto has said the 2022 election contest has been framed and he is ready for it.
He said the race will be between the coalition of a few leaders and the alliance of the people.
“It will be between those who prioritize positions for leaders against those of us who are keen on jobs creation for the millions of ordinary Kenyans,” he said.
According to Ruto, the poll will put in competition those for the review of the Constitution with those who back the changing of the economy to uplift the poor.
He was speaking at his Karen Residence during a consultative meeting with more than 350 United Democratic Alliance (UDA) aspirants from Nyeri, Laikipia, Meru and Tharaka-Nithi Counties.
He ascertained UDA’s aspirants of fairness in the nominations, where those who win get the ticket and losers expected to back them.
“UDA’s plan is different from its competitors. The focus is on uniting Kenyans, expand enterprise, create jobs, generate wealth and tackle poverty from the bottom of the economic pyramid,” Ruto said.
Mathira MP Rigathi Gachagua asked the wealthy to stop imagining that they own the poor.
“Let them (the rich) go ahead and support Raila Odinga, We will continue to back the Deputy President,” Gachagua said.
Leaders present were Rahab Mukami, Rigathi Gachagua, Kimani Ichung’wah, Patrick Mariru, George Murugara and Halima Mucheke.
