DP RUTO’S CLOSE ALLY DUMPS HIM, JOINS AZIMIO LA UMOJA

DP Ruto’s Close ally has dumped him for Raila’s Azimio la Umoja. Deputy President William Ruto ‘s special secretary for Infrastructure and ICT Maurice Kakai Bisau has ditched the United Democratic Alliance party.

Kaikai who was seeking the governor seat for Trans Nzoia county on a UDA ticket will now be going for the senate seat on an Azimio la Umoja ticket.

His move, reports say, was inspired by the allegations that Kiminini MP Chris Wamalwa stands a better chance to be backed by the DP owing to his alliance with Ford Kenya leader Moses Wetang’ula.

Kaika’s defection has now jolted the political landscape in the county and clearly turned the contest into a two-horse race between former Rift Valley regional commissioner George Natembeya and Wamalwa.

“As for now we are only having two viable candidates; Natembeya and Wamalwa,” Political analyst Kefa Were told the Star.

Bisau who is expected to officially decamp to ODM this Sunday came second to outgoing governor Patrick Khaemba in the 2017 gubernatorial race.

Natembeya and Bisau have now teamed up ahead of the August 9, polls with the latter promising to back the former for the governor seat.
