GARISSA—Majority leader of the National Assembly Aden Duale has maintained that Northeastern residents and other pastoralist communities have rallied behind the Deputy President.

He led a section of Garissa County leaders who declared that they would support Deputy President William Ruto’s presidential bid in the 2022 General Election.

“William Ruto’s father was a peasant and next elections are not who your father is but what you have done to Kenyans,” Mr Duale said.

The Garissa Township MP warned politicians eyeing the presidency in 2022 that the seat is not hereditary.

He maintained Kenyans would elect Deputy President William Ruto in 2022 because of Jubilee’s development record.

“Kenyans will elect you depending on whatever you have done to them, we will ensure that President Uhuru Kenyatta lives behind a rich legacy,” he said.

Mr Duale appeared to be reacting to a visit by Baringo Senator Gideon Moi to Bura Sub-County who was accompanied by MP Abdikarim Osman.

The Garissa legislator was speaking on Sunday in Kasha during the homecoming ceremony of Garissa County committee member in charge of Agriculture and Livestock Issa Yarow.

The event was attended by Garissa Governor Ali Korane, MPs Mohamed Hire (Lagdera), Mohamed Dahiye (Dadaab), Fatuma Gedi (Wajir Woman Rep), Abdi Omar Shurie (Balambala) and Ahmed Qolosho (Wajir West).

Wajir West Member of Parliament Ahmed Qolosho echoed Duale’s sentiments saying they will support Mr Ruto as he has shown the ability to deliver to the people.

He added that Baringo Senator Gideon Moi has nothing to show in terms of development and only hides behind his father’s name.

However Garissa Governor Ali Korane said it was too early to be in campaign mood for 2022 elections.
