Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has vowed to rally Kenyans to vote for President William Ruto in the 2027 elections.
His remarks come days after his declaration to ensure he gives Ruto 100 per cent votes from Mt Kenya for his re-election bid in the 2027 general election.
Speaking on Wednesday in Narok, Gachagua said he began in Mount Kenya and soon he will traverse other regions.
"Wiki mbili iliyopita nilianza kumsaidia Rais kuunganisha zile area zinazomuunga mkono kwa sababu tunasema kabla tuungane na wengine kwanza tuungane sisi kinyumbani. Tumeanza kuunganisha pale Mlima Kenya, Rift Valley hapa Narok nataka governor na wabunge wote tushikanishe kwanza tuunganishe alafu pia wamaasai ambao walipotea tuwarudishe.
(Two weeks ago, I started helping the President to rally Kenyans because we must first be united at home. We started in Mount Kenya, Rift Valley and now in Narok. I want the governor and all the leaders to unite so that we can we can reclaim the Maasai communities we lost)
The DP urged all the leaders to come together and unite for the sake of the country.
He added that most of the members of the Maasai community had been taken by the Orange Democratic Party, ODM.
Speaking on Sunday in Nandi when he presided over a fundraiser at the Kapsabet ACK church, the DP made it clear that he must ensure he delivers 100 per cent votes for Ruto.
"I have called on Mt Kenya people to unite and rally together so that we push a common agenda," Gachagua said.
The DP said he would have loved to do much better and that is why he has been working tooth and nail to ensure he puts Mt Kenya on board behind Ruto.
In the August 9, 2022 polls, Ruto beat his closest rival and long-time political nemesis Raila Odinga of the Azimio la Umoja to be declared Kenya's fifth President.
Ruto garnered 7.1 million votes, equivalent to 50.49 per cent of all valid votes cast, against Raila's 6.9 million votes (48.85 per cent).
Raila alleged fraud in the contest and headed to the Supreme Court but lost the case after the apex court said evidence presented before it was nothing short of 'hot air' and 'red herring'.
In its verdict read by Chief Justice Martha Koome, the judges of the court said there were aspects of irregularities pointed out by petitioners but they were not sufficient to warrant cancellation of the election.
Azimio and the Kenya Kwanza side are currently engaged in bipartisan talks aimed at solving some of the grievances that arose from the polls.
They include the reconstitution of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) and audit of the poll results which, however, the government side has declined to have included as an agenda.
Kenya Kwanza insists the election is a matter that is done and dusted.
