60% of elected leaders support Ruto – Moses Kuria
At least 60 per cent of elected leaders in the country support Deputy President William Ruto's presidential aspirations in the Kenya Kwanza Coalition, according to Gatundu South Member of Parliament Moses Kuria.
Kuria alludes that the 60 per cent are both elected senators and members of the national assembly and tries to justify his statement after National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi joined Kenya Kwanza outfit today.
According to him, 70 per cent of MCAs across the country have also subscribed to Ruto's social-economic and political ideologies.
In a post he made on his Facebook account, Kuria who was addressing President Uhuru Kenyatta who is his constituent claimed that Kenya Kwanza had more support than Azimio la Umoja - One Kenya coalition party which is headed by Raila Odinga who is also its presidential flag bearer.
"Dear Mr President, the Deputy President, the Speakers of the Senate & National Assembly, 60% of MPs in Senate and the National Assembly, more than 70% of MCAs countrywide and yours truly as your village mate and long term friend are in Kenya Kwanza. How long will you resist?" Kuria posed.
He made the sentiments as politics continue to gain momentum ahead of the August 9 polls with both the frontrunners leaving nothing to chance in their efforts to succeed President Uhuru Kenyatta.
