Deputy President William Ruto says he is ready to ditch the ruling Jubilee Party ahead of next year’s general elections.
Speaking during an interview on Radio Citizen on Thursday, Ruto indicated that there has been a continued attempt to push him and his allies out of Jubilee in the past few years.
If he is locked out of the governing party, Ruto said he could use the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party to run in the 2022 presidential contest.
“If it gets to a point where they do not want us to be there in Jubilee, then we must have a different plan. You cannot wait to hit a wall. Going forward, if there is no agreement, then we will plan ourselves with UDA. We have built UDA in partnership with Jubilee. It is not us starting afresh. We are just going on with what we already have,” Ruto stated.
He added: “UDA and Jubilee are one. We have a coalition agreement with them and we have been working together. If they break Jubilee, trying to make it a tribal party, we will build UDA as the national party we had hoped Jubilee will be.”
At the same time, the deputy president refused to rule out the possibility of working with ODM party leader Raila Odinga, insisting that their differences are not personal.
“Some people think I have problems with Raila. I do not. These differences are political. And there are things I agree with Raila. He is agreed on the need to form national parties and he is facing similar issues I am facing of regional chieftains. And I want to say this: If anybody wants to partner with us to bring up the hustler, we have no problem. We support, we will work together,” he added.
of course, you and Raila are…
of course, you and Raila are cut from the same cloth. As his lieutenant during the 2007/08 PEV (Post Election Violence), you burnt alive -Kikuyus- men women and children in a house of God. You were so evil and full of malice that you burnt children because of the vote although them children couldn’t even vote. You sent ignorant youths of your tribe to go and remove (kill) mandoadoa (Kikuyus) huko Rift Valley. If you could knowingly and deliberately shade the blood of innocent Wagikuyus – people of God, because they, presumably, made a democratic decision to vote for a different candidate in an election, how the hell do you expect people to join a Ruto/Raila political pact?
Raila making a political…
Raila making a political pact with Ruto will completely destroy Raila’s chances for 2022. Raila can’t make a deal with the most corrupt DP in the history of Kenya and then expect to maintain any credibility as the most corruption free guy n Kenya!
How does Raila join hands with a known thief and then expect Kenyans to believe in him? This is not about politics, it is about greed of two men who have no vision for Kenya!
John Mbatia keep saying no one else can with the presidency without Ruto or Raila. Ruto should be barred from running in 2022 based on his corruption and his criminal record! It is time for both Ruto and Raila to go!
What happened to Raila…
What happened to Raila saying I’m as clean as Pamba while Ruto who is the biggest thief in Kenya claiming of forming a political working relationship with Raila!?
These thieves are taking Kenyans for huge ride! Both of them must be sent home because they have no particular interest in the people of Kenya!
Kenyans must wake up and demand better leadership into the future!
Ruto says – uda and jubilee…
Ruto says – uda and jubilee are one, why then jump out of the same ship? Ruto is a very confused fella! Jubilee should fire Ruto.
Ruto, you do have huge…
Ruto, you do have huge problems with Raila as you refer to him as the witch doctor! That nasty politics you all idiots practice need to come to an end! Wewe Ruto ni murogi!
Now Ruto wants to be the…
Now Ruto wants to be the deputy president for Raila! I thought Ruto said the other day that he made Raila the prime minister of Kenya, made mwau Kibaki’s and Uhuru the president but he does not know how to make himself get to those positions. Ruto yuko na ufara sana! Kwenda huko kuka hio wheelburrow yako wewe Shetani kwenda wazimu.
Keep on toking that shitty…
Keep on toking that shitty banana in your dirty mouth ? @ruto! You will be the worst president of the Republic of Kenya any money can buy if people play stupid and elect you! I’m prepared to move to Juba if Ruto is elected president.
This Ruto guy is all about himself and his corruption! Hope Kenyans are not that foolish to elect a conman and thief!
Take me to juba with you so…
Take me to juba with you so we can fight back from there if Ruto is elected! But wait a minute! I’m not leaving my country to a thief so he can steal everything and then sell it to the Chinese! I’m here to stay! You can take Ruto with you @kiosemeti!
Resign and begin campaigning…
Resign and begin campaigning. You have always craved to be president. Get off our backs, let the country return to working mood. You have knocked our heads with your selfish political desire for three years. Give our women and youth some rest. The truth is we don’t need you to survive. You need us to survive. Take a holiday, resign from being VP, get off Jubilee and build whatever party you want. Do not forget, we will not vote with our stomachs. We know better now. We will eat all you offer, but that hotel will be closed on polling day. Kenyans are not for hire. We have seen this game before.
Wow @joe – you just told off…
Wow @joe – you just told off this rogue what he needs to do instead of lying that he is the deputy president. He thinks he is an important of the society while he keeps stealing from the wheelburrow poor folks who don’t know any better!
Uhuru Murathe Atwoli axis of…
Uhuru Murathe Atwoli axis of evil intent is to obliterate Jubilee. Uda is the only way to political heaven for hustlers. Raila can be a deadly weapon to kieleweke axis. Ruto is the enigma, cherubim, seraphim of Kenya politics. The incoming David and Jehu to destroy goliath, Jezebel and Ahab strongholds of decades past.
I feel sorry for the lost…
I feel sorry for the lost hustlers under a thief called Ruto!

Soita. Many are thieving but not giving. They are the dead sea. Hustler man is a giver.
Sorry @morirfired! Your…
Sorry @morirfired! Your attitude is the whole problem Kenya has remained behind! A thief is a damn thief whether he gives or not; he is still a damn thief! Please do not marginalize the minds of the Kenyan people! You are insulting them bigly without shame!
Ali I’m discussing the state…
Ali I’m discussing the state of affairs as is and how electorate view politics of money which without it its hard to get elected though possible. I believe in death penalty like China for corruption. Will that happen in our generation. I don’t know.
Which money? Ruto’s stolen…
Which money? Ruto’s stolen money? We do not want it! And we do not want him either!
Sally don’t be ignorant of…
Sally don’t be ignorant of Kenya politics. 99pc of elected members spend huge in elections. Electorate justify it bec they might not see them again 4.9 years. See the whole pic.
Shame on you motofire for…
Shame on you motofire for thinking it is ok to steal! What a shame you girly man! Cant even believe your state of mind is that warped! Go eat you doodle banana with Ruto! Both of you are damn cursed and condemned to hell! Thieves!
Wario I don’t entertain…
Wario I don’t entertain insults anytime. Good luck
Surely politicians are just…
Surely politicians are just like horny prostitutes who always flock to the highest bidder. Cant believe this political prostitute pictured here is now sucking on Raila’s bibi- banana to be Raila’s second in command.
Hope you choke on that damn…
Hope you choke on that damn banana you eating Ruto! Stop selling our youth short with some dirty foolish slogans of a wheelburrow! Hope you choke you bustard; literally!
Ruto is the most tribalist…
Ruto is the most tribalist DP Kenya has ever had! If you closely look at Ruto’s political history, he has always been aligned with the Kalejin tribal politics while he attempts to hoodwink his tribal sentiments by telling others that they are tribal. Just look at who is in uda party basically all Kalejin with a few other elements from here and there!
The only reason Ruto is presenting himself as a lover of all the tribes in Kenya is to garner votes to get to the presidency. Then you will see that chameleon Ruto adopt back to the Kalejin tribal politics.
Ruto is tactfully using the same card Moi used to get to the top and then turn against other tribes! Ruto is basically pretending to be a national figure while he is not. His politics are very divisive and he does not care about the cohesion of the country as long as he ascend to the top!
Has anyone ever thought why…
Has anyone ever thought why Ruto is using youth the most vulnerable group to get the presidency? The youth are easily bought with empty slogans because they don’t know any better!
All the youth want is to be bribed with some stolen money fir a temporary satisfaction and they will give Ruto the votes!
The adults in the house must stop this madness to secure the future of Kenya. Ruto and his wheelbarrow brigade are out there to wreck the country into pieces with corruption and theft – such as Arrow and Kimurer fake dams projects! Head my observation because it may come true in 2022.
The most important fruit of…
The most important fruit of Kenyan Politics is Peace and Stability. Kenyan Voters know this and they know how to tell the wheat from the chaff. My advice to RUTO is to continue to be an ardent advocate for PEACE and STABILITY in Kenya. Advocating for Peace is good politics for the NATION and it is a wining political formula for the politicians that embrace it.
Ruto is the wrong message to…
Ruto is the wrong message to convey the message of piece and stability in Kenya! What stability when Ruto started campaigning the day Uhuru was sawn in for the Second term! Ruto does not know the definition of peace! Ask him about church burning in Eldoret. Then ask him about Juma, Yebei, musando, Mwikali, Kinei, etc!
It is truly weird how folks like you can be so easily deceived with wheelbarrows, sweets, skirts, etc for. Wing absent minded! Let’s not sell Kenya to a thief!
Kiambaa church facts: the…
Kiambaa church facts: the attackers attacked ppl n run into church hence the retaliation by irritated victims of persistent attacks. Guys who were tried found not guilty. Unfortunately women paid a price yet men were the attackers. Ruto not responsible.
Kivutha Kibwana “TOSHA 2022″…
Kivutha Kibwana “TOSHA 2022” kuwa rais wa Jamhuri ya Kenya.
Kivutha has never been…
Kivutha has never been mentioned anywhere fir stealing people’s money, land, and killing Kenyans like Ruto has been. I would prefer kivutha any time if the day compared to Ruto who is confusing the youth with stupid wheelbarrows to become president so he can steal more of our money! And kill others!
Ruto is the wrong guy to…
Ruto is the wrong guy to lead Kenya to the next level. We currently do not know who the next president will be! But I’m very sure it will not be Ruto!
Uhuru should never head over power to Ruto even if he wins the election because Ruto will destroy the country!
We are ready to fight for our country if Ruto wins in 2022. This guy is up to no good for Kenya. Everything he is doing now shows very bad signs for Kenya’s future under Ruto! He is willing to openly sell out the youth because they are ignorant and they like the little stolen money Ruto is dishing to them! Their views do not represent the views of the ordinary Kenyans.
We should all be very worried and concern about Ruto deceitful political underpinnings! We should all resist Ruto’s dirty tricks!
It is the first time I have been worried about my country when Ruto’s name is mentioned! This man has a very dark record when it comes to Kenya’s well-being! Ruto is nothing less than a crook and the worst criminal ever who hides in the Bible! He is far much worse than Hitler of Germany! And we should not be conned!
