In a new twist of events, former Bomet Governor Isaac Rutto has ditched opposition National Super Alliance (NASA) for Jubilee.
On Friday morning, Rutto was among leaders who welcomed President Uhuru and William Ruto after they landed in historic Kapkatet grounds in Kericho for a campaign rally.
Rutto was accompanied by former Kuresoi South MP Zakayo Cheruiyot, Emurua Dikirr MP Johana Ng’eno and Narok’s Patrick Ole Ntutu to welcome the two Jubilee leaders at the grounds.
Speaking during the rally at the grounds, Rutto said he is back to Jubilee and pledged support for President Uhuru Kenyatta in the upcoming repeat poll. “I have come back to support President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto, I realized I had few followers. I have come back to join you,” he said. “Today I have returned (to) where I belong,” Mr Ruto said as he addressed an excited crowd.
Rutto joined Nasa as the fifth principal after teaming up with Raila, Musalia Mudavadi (ANC), Kalonzo Musyoka (Wiper) and Moses Wetang’ula (Ford Kenya) ahead of the August 8 general election.
He suffered defeat in the hands of Jubilee’s Joyce Laboso for Bomet governor seat and accepted the outcome of the polls. He shocked many when he attended the swearing-in of the new Governor and promised to work with her to develop the county.
The Chama Cha Mashinani leader has been conspicuously missing in NASA rallies since he was defeated. In a press briefing last week, NASA chief campaigner Mudavadi insisted Rutto was still in NASA. Few days ago, Rutto has denied reports that he was going to join Jubilee and insisted that he was in Nasa to stay.

Again I find no difficulty in agreeing with you. Reason is the one tenet that is in short supply in the institutions you mentioned, that is why you see such inexplicable actions. But jubilant will have a reason to celebrate.

IEBC should not be allowed to run the election come October 17. This incompetent joint is responsible for giving the Kenyan voters mediocre candidates with closets full of skeletons. The latest example of a mentally deranged cleared candidate is Moses Kuria.
I have listened very carefully his utterances in Gikuyu language and wonder why he has not been arrested! This man is capable of causing major ethnic wars between the Gikuyu and Luo people. The man is illiterate. Kenya is a unique country made up of over 40 distinct micro-nations.
Uhuru is also a mediocre leader who couldn’t have made it politically on his own without the hand of dictator, murderer, thief, and criminal toroitich arap moi! Uhuru should have ordered the arrest of Kuria immediately he said words that can bring instability to the many good people of Kenya.
Solution: All public meetings must be conducted in Kiswahili. The elections must be postponed in order to reconstruct a new election agency devoid of mediocrity as seen in the current IEBC. Kenya desperately needs a competent leader. Neither Raila nor Uhuru can fill the current vacuum of exemplary leadership.

When thug Uhuru finishes his term of office after they rig the election again on October 17, let the people of Kenya put the two thugs (Kikuyu and kalenjin for a half a century probation.
No member of the Gikuyu or Kalenjin people should seek the position of the president or vice president for period of a half of a century.
