Speaking at parklands, Dr Ruto said the Jubilee Party will contest the Wajir West constituency by-election on a platform of issues, ideas, sound policy and service delivery aligned to the Big Four.
Kolosh will face ODM party Mohamed Yusuf Elmi in the higly contested candidate for Wajir West by-election to be held on April 25.
The DP further said that the party is looking forward to a peaceful decent election devoid of name-calling and abuses.
The legislator, who lost his seat on January 18 following a successful petition by Abdirahman Ibrahim of the Kenya African National Union (KANU), said his election was nullified because the poll agency mishandled the polling exercise.
“In the spirit of democracy we’re going to have very healthy competition. Let my competitors read the mood on the ground. We’ll win this seat,” he said.
