The rivalry between Baringo Senator Gideon Moi and Deputy President William Ruto continues to escalate, even after the KANU party announced its support for the re-election of President Uhuru Kenyatta.
KANU leader Gideon Moi launched a scathing attack against Deputy President William Ruto barely three days after announcing support for President Uhuru Kenyatta. Speaking in Elgeyo Marakwet, Moi made it clear to Ruto that he did not own the Kalenjin vote.
Let's not talk about 2022 and let me whisper something to you (Ruto), you do not own the Kalenjin vote.
Moi further stated,
Our support for Uhuru does not automatically mean we will support you in 2022.
Senator Aaron Cheruiyot, addressing congregants at AIC church in Kericho county, accused KANU of trying to destabilise the Jubilee leadership. He noted,
We invite everyone to Jubilee but when you go into someone’s house you do not try to take charge and reorganize things. Kanu has claimed that it supports President Kenyatta but not the DP and that is very fishy.
Gideon Moi's statement comes amidst doubts cast by Ruto's allies regarding KANU's declaration of support for Uhuru.
