Next year’s general election is a sure bet for President William Ruto, Gem Member of Parliament Elisha Odhiambo has said.
According to Odhiambo, President Ruto will beat his opponents by a wide margin, given the track record of his first term, where he has ensured development in all corners of the country.
The legislator was talking at the Gem Wagai sub-county headquarters today, where he presided over the disbursement of Sh24.4 million bursary cheques to students from the Gem constituency.
“Ruto will also be re-elected because he has all along championed inclusivity in his government,” he said, adding, “the previous governments just focused on one region.” ”.
He called on Kenyans to rally behind the president to ensure that he gets a mandate for the second term.
The legislator at the same time called on the opposition to stop galvanising the country into tribal groupings.
“Kenya belongs to all of us and there is no need of invoking tribal groupings in our politics,” he said.
He called on former President Uhuru Kenyatta to give his successor, William Ruto, space to rule peacefully.
