United Democratic Alliance (UDA) delegates have unanimously endorsed Deputy President William Ruto as party’s presidential candidate ahead of August polls.
The delegates Tuesday morning unveiled DP Ruto as flagbearer after a closed door meeting at the Kasarani stadium.
The UDA NDC conference is set to be attended by over 5,000 delegates who will then support Ruto’s candidature.
The DP was Tuesday morning accompanied by his wife Rachael Ruto and his allies; Governor Anne Waiguru, UDA Secretary-General Veronica Maina, chairman Johnstone Muthama, Mathira MP Rigathi Gachagua and Kandara MP Alice Wahome.
This comes days after defeating two other candidates; Tracy Wanjiru and Orina Jephanei, for lack of nomination fee and papers. Nomination fee for UDA flagbearer is Ksh 1 milion.
DP Ruto will now face Azimio la Umoja’s candidate, Raila Odinga, in what has been predicted by experts as a ‘two horse race’.
