Deputy President William Ruto has received huge political mileage after the former Vihiga County Governor Reverend Moses Akaranga endorsed his gubernatorial bid.
Speaking during Progressive Party of Kenya (PPK) campaigns in Vihiga, Akaranga wooed electorates to vote for Ruto in August contest terming Raila as untrustworthy.
He revealed that DP Ruto pleaded him to rally Vihiga locals to embrace the bottom-up economic model as well as popularizing his (Ruto’s) presidential bid.
“Ruto invited me to his official residence in Karen, Nairobi and pleaded me to support his presidential bid. I want to urge you to vote for DP Ruto in forthcoming election” he said
