Supporters of Deputy President William Ruto in Kakamega County have warned President Uhuru Kenyatta against schemes to sideline his deputy and scuttle his presidential bid in 2022.
Former Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale described the move as a waste of time, saying it would backfire politically and leave the president embarrassed.
Dr Khalwale claimed that President Kenyatta was scheming to ensure Baringo Senator Gideon Moi emerged as his successor.
"What is happening in Jubilee does not surprise those of us who have been in politics for this long. All President Kenyatta is doing is to scheme and sideline his deputy to pave way for Senator Gideon Moi as his successor," said Dr Khalwale.
Other allies, including Mumias East MP Benjamin Khalwale and Lurambi MP Titus Khamala, also expressed their support for Deputy President Ruto.
