Kenya Kwanza and ODM leaders have intensified their attacks on the opposition and former President Uhuru Kenyatta, claiming he was hiding behind Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka to campaign against President William Ruto.
Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale also dismissed DCP leader Rigathi Gachagua’s claims that he commands seven million votes from Mount Kenya, saying there are only 3.8 million votes in that region.
He boasted that Uhuru campaigned against President Ruto in 2022 and lost, saying his project will fail again.
Duale who was flanked by Mining, Blue Economy and Maritime Affairs Cabinet Secretary Hassan Joho and Mombasa women representative Ms Zamzam Mohamed, spoke yesterday during a women empowerment rally at Serani grounds in Mombasa County.
“Please, Uhuru Kenyatta, do not hide behind Kalonzo Musyoka and other characters. Face Ruto directly. You campaigned against your deputy in 2022 and he defeated you. You will be defeated again,” he stated, claiming that the former President was jealous as he was always campaigning against Ruto.
He claimed Ruto has managed to unite Kenyan communities to ensure that development was spread across the country.
He announced that he and Joho have embarked on the mobilisation of seven million votes from Coast and North Eastern regions to vote for Ruto and that Gachagua does not have numbers to win the presidency.
