Published on November 4, 2019, Deputy President William Ruto has urged Kenyans to pray for Jubilee candidate, Mariga, ahead of the Kibra by-election scheduled for November 7.
Speaking at a fundraiser for A.I.C Church in Kabartonjo, Baringo North Sub-county, Ruto expressed optimism that Jubilee would win the election by a landslide.
‘As Jubilee, we are optimistic to win the race by a landslide. We only ask Kenyans to pray for this day, especially for our candidate, Mariga as he faces the tedious challenge,’ Ruto said.
Ruto also took a swipe at ODM leader Raila Odinga, accusing him of stagnating growth in Kibra during his 25-year tenure as MP.
‘He should appreciate the fact that he is aging and now this exercise in Kibra is a strategy to send him home to go and warm his bed back in Bondo. We even prepared for him a nice bed ready to escort him home to go and rest with his luggage,’ Ruto said.
