Ruto heads to Ukambani as Azimio brigade camps in Kisii and Nairobi

This week both Kenya Kwanza Alliance and Azimio La Umoja movement have scheduled series of political rallies in different parts of the country.

Today deputy president William Ruto will lead his Kenya Kwanza Alliance brigade to lower eastern region popularly known as Ukambani region. The region is perceived to be Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka stronghold.

The Kenya Kwanza Alliance brigade will camp in Machakos county which is one of the three counties in lower eastern region. They will make two stop overs at Athi River and Mlolongo towns in the county.

” Let’s meet Athi River and Mlolongo, Machakos county tomorrow” wrote UDA national coordinator Peter Kamau alias Don on his official Facebook page.

Other legislators expected includes Machakos Town MP Victor Munyaka, Mwala MP Vincent Musau and Kitui East legislator Nimrod Mbai.

Majority of leaders from Machakos county are allied to Azimio La Umoja movement.
