Deputy President William Ruto -led Kenya Kwanza coalition has set its sights on securing more than 60% of the vote in the upcoming August election to avoid a run-off.
According to the electoral laws, a candidate must secure 50% plus one vote to win the presidency in the first round.
Dr. Ruto's running mate, Rigathi Gachagua, and Amani National Congress (ANC) leader Musalia Mudavadi said during the alliance's economic forums in Kericho and Bomet counties that they would go flat out to deliver the presidency.
The leaders called on residents of Rift Valley and other regions to rally behind Dr. Ruto, who is the coalition's presidential flagbearer.
Mr. Gachagua emphasized that the economic and development blueprint of the Kenya Kwanza team would be anchored on what ordinary people see as priority.
"We appeal to voters to sign a five-year contract with us by voting for Dr. Ruto as their president and Kenya Kwanza teams. If we do not deliver in the five years, then vote us out," Mr. Gachagua said.
