Energy Assistant Minister Magerer Langat has
said presidential hopefuls William Ruto and Musalia Mudavadi were sponsored by
Prime Minister Raila Odinga’s rivals to frustrate his presidential bid.
Speaking at his Kipkelion Constituency
during a tour of CDF projects in the area, Langat said Raila would weather the
storm and emerge victorious.
“TNA is PNU reloaded so there’s nothing they
gained. They just retained their seats and people clapped but the truth of the
matter is that ODM gained new seats in Bukura and Kaloleni,” Langat said.
The fiery ODM stalwart said even if the whole
Kalenjin Community defects to Ruto‘s party United Republican Party he will
remain in ODM, saying his future is ODM.
“I am not moving out of
ODM. Am there to stay and I am not going to lose my seat…… I have a future,” Magerer
said.
The Minister also extended
an olive to URP party leader William Ruto, saying the door is was still open for
him to strike a deal with the PM.
“They should look back and swallow their pride
and strike a deal because they are ultimate losers in the second round.They
will be out of politics,” he said.
