Deputy President William Ruto has been devastated by news of President Uhuru Kenyatta backing a National Super Alliance (NASA) presidential candidate come 2022.
In an early morning tweet, the DP conveyed his devastation using Kikuyu words and citing the October 26, 2017 repeat election.
Dr Ruto seemed to accuse the President of abandoning voters who had showed up to hand him a second term, referring to them as “Thurakus” which is the Kikuyu name for army ants.
The seemingly distraught DP further accused the President of being a sell-out, asserting that any of those who voted for him could have been a good pick to support.
“EUCHO! NGAI FAFA MWATHANI! So, what happens to the Thurakus, the kumìrà kùmèrà contingent, the 8 million of us? None, no youth, no woman, no man of the 8M who woke up early and voted 3 times for UK/WsR ticket merit support?” the tweet read in part.
DP Ruto went on to conclude that he and his supporters would rely on God for endorsement and support.
“Sawa tu! Tutajipanga na support ya MUNGU,” he stated.
