On 21 October 2018, a group of Rift Valley MPs publicly pressed President Uhuru Kenyatta to honour his earlier promise to support Deputy President William Ruto in the 2022 succession race.
The lawmakers made the remarks while speaking in Ruto’s backyard, using the platform to remind Kenyatta of the political understanding they said had already been reached. The intervention placed the 2022 contest back at the centre of the region’s political conversation.
The source clip does not provide additional details on the full list of speakers, the exact venue, or any response from the President or his allies. It does, however, capture the MPs’ message as a direct reminder that Kenyatta had committed to backing Ruto in 2022.
