The war pitting Tanga Tanga against Kitaeleweka has taken a strange twist. The Kitaeleweka team are now campaigning for Ruto through a mock hashtag #Vote4Ruto.
The hashtag became a top trend on Wednesday morning with accounts tweeting posters on Deputy President William Ruto’s agenda.
Former State House Secretary of Digital Communication Dennis Itumbi has disowned a trending hashtag #VoteRuto terming it as “the sound of a defeated group.”
“DP @WilliamsRuto has been clear on 2022 politics. It is time for service delivery. Time to serve & do what must be done for country. He has not even gotten the Jubilee ticket. The barking on hashtag ‘Vote For Ruto’ is the sound of a defeated group that is running out of ideas!”
Itumbi however wished those behind the movement well in their efforts.
“To understand who owns this group that is barking on hashtag ‘Vote For Ruto’ just look at their previous choir of tweets. Same sound, same noise, same lyrics – Same owner! It is an Orchestra with a team, instruments & money but can barely compose a melody! We wish them well!” he wrote.
The #VoteRuto trend has been well coordinated to include videos of the DP’s speeches that touch on development matters.
