Former Bomet Governor Isaac Ruto joined his Jubilee true after he defeated NASA yesterday. The former CoG leader said that he knew that the Deputy President William Ruto is the King of Rift Valley and claimed that he had no powers of getting votes in South Rift.

“Today I have returned to where I belong,” Ruto told a cheering crowd.

“We are here and we have come to support you and vote for you so you continue working for Kenyans,” Ruto declared.
This ended days of speculation on his next move after his humiliating defeat.
“He is a good man because he has decided that at all costs this time round we must walk together. Gideon is here, Isaac is here, we shall walk together,” Ruto said.
“The community is bigger than me, bigger than Ruto and anyone else. that is why we are saying we closed the shop there and vowed to come back home,” he said.

Former Nyeri Senator Mutahi Kagwe yesterday said Jubilee has almost locked up support from the entire Rift Valley and now will focus on Turkana.

“It is very clear now. Indications are that even those people who were against Uhuru Kenyatta and Jubilee, in the beginning, have seen the winning combination. It would be good for Turkana to support the President because of all the development projects he has lined up for the area,” Kagwe said.
“The job of elected leaders doesn’t belong to the IEBC, it doesn’t belong to the High Court or Raila, but the people of Kenya,” President Uhuru Kenyatta said.
"The People of Kenya will exercise their will in 17th October and people must vote. We are happy and hope to win again. The votes are with the people and not the courts. We will make sure we retain our seats." President Kenyatta Added.
