On August 11, 2019, Martha Karua, the leader of Narc Kenya, made it clear that she would not support Deputy President William Ruto in his 2022 presidential bid.

Speaking in an interview with K24, Karua expressed her dissatisfaction with Ruto's leadership record, stating, 'He (William Ruto) does not have a very good record; not one to admire.'

She also accused Ruto's men of being responsible for her political woes, claiming that the Jubilee party did not play fair in the 2017 general elections.

'I believe there were malpractices and that was why the Supreme Court nullified the election,' Karua said.

When asked to choose between Ruto and Raila Odinga as the only presidential candidates in the 2022 election, Karua stated that she would support Odinga without hesitation.

'If I have to choose between Raila and Ruto, I would go with Raila without thinking twice about it,' she said.
