Deputy President has been facing backlash from right left and centre but still standing strong despite everything that has been happening in his political life.
On Thursday DP Ruto had zero chills when he hit out at his 2022 competitors claiming that they had nothing to offer him but were instead looking for endorsement to gain leadership, something that was not taken lightly by the Amani National Congress (ANC) leader Musalia Mudavadi.
According to Mudavadi in a statement said that the DP was losing it as he felt he would not get the Jubilee party nomination.
In addition he said, “The talk of paying political debts is synonymous with the DP inventing some form of debts owed by communities wherever he goes. The DP is using all manner of unorthodox tricks to force President Kenyatta to endorse him.”
Mr Mudavadi sentiment was a response to DP Ruto’s comment where he said, “Politics is about planning and mobilisation. There is nothing like this (State House seat) being endorsed. I have seen some hanging around waiting for endorsements.”
ODM party national chairman John Mbadi (Suba South) and Kanu secretary-general Nick Salat also told off the DP over his comments .
“What has he done to ensure that lives of Kenyans are improved apart from dishing hand-outs?” Mr Salat asked.
The DP, who hosted another delegation of leaders yesterday at his Sugoi home, said he would take part in the party nominations.
