October 31, 2019, marked a significant day in the Kibra parliamentary race as Nandi Hills MP Alfred Keter took on DP William Ruto's camp.
Responding to a text purported to be from DP Ruto asking Jubilee MPs to volunteer as Mariga's agents during the Kibra By-Election, Keter sent a stern warning to the DP's camp.
According to Keter, Mariga is a 'non-starter' who cannot be convinced or intimidated to back his candidature.
'No amount of lobbying nor intimidation is going to make me support a non-starter like Mariga who has never voted in his life and is not even from Kibra period!!! #Kwendeni uko,' Keter tweeted.
Mariga's bid in the Kibra parliamentary race has been met with ridicule from Keter, who questioned his eligibility to run for the seat.
Others who have been vocal in their opposition to DP Ruto's camp include Moiben MP Silas Teren and Cherangany MP Joshua Kutuny.
