Senator Elgeyo Marakwet, Kipchumba Murkomen has sensationally claimed that Kenya’s First Lady Margaret Kenyatta is a supporter of Vice President William Ruto.
Speaking on Wednesday, June 22, at the funeral of former Bomet Governor Isaac Ruto’s mother, the senator claimed that Kenya Kwanza was assured of Margaret’s vote in the August 9 general election.
According to the lawmaker, President Uhuru Kenyatta had decamped alone to Azimio after his fallout with the DP, which later formed the United Democratic Alliance.
“The only person who joined Azimio is Uhuru, and we know Margaret will vote for us. Even her face says it. The person we should be praying for change is Uhuru Kenyatta.

“If we add up those with whom we decamped and those in the new alliance, I think we win the next election by 65% and more,” he noted.
Margaret, who is the wife of President Uhuru Kenyatta, however, has always avoided the political spotlight and has never publicly announced her preferred political party.
She ascended to the chair of First Lady in 2013 after Uhuru won the election while in an alliance with the DP. Since the fallout between the two leaders, Uhuru has thrown his weight, albeit quietly, at Azimio presidential candidate Raila Odinga.
While attending the funeral, Justin Muturi challenged the head of state to make public the root cause of his estrangement with the DP.
He argued that TSWT deserve to know what broke the harmonious relationship between the duo.
“You know, President Uhuru is wrong to wait until August 9 to rest before telling TSWT what was wrong between him and William Ruto. TSWT deserve to be told,” he said. Explain.
Other leaders have called for the independence of the National Police Service as the election date approaches.
DP William Ruto has always maintained that he doesn’t know why his powers were usurped after the 2018 handshake between Uhuru and his DP.
