Deputy President William Ruto has been dared to field a candidate for forthcoming Nairobi governor elections if he thinks Msambweni by-elections made him popular.

The ODM party chairman and Suba South MP John Mbadi said said since ODM candidate Omar Boga lost the Msambweni parliamentary by-election, Ruto has been thinking he is popular.

Boga lost to Feisal Badar, an independent candidate.

“Ruto is deluded by the win should openly field a candidate in the forthcoming capital governor race and align himself through his party,” he said.

He said from recent public utterance “it is clear Ruto has left Jubilee and is in a party we don’t know.”

“There is no party called Independent for him to aligning himself to all independent candidates,” he said.

He said a by election is not indicative for popularity a party or a candidate across Kenya.

“Ruto should not be over excited with a win in Msambweni for an independent candidate who is not even his man,” he said.

He was speaking on Tuesday at Oruba estate in Migori town during the burial of Mzee William Adede, a businessman in a burial also attended by area Suna West MP Peter Masara, senator Ochillo Ayacko and former Nyatike MP Edick Masara were also president.
