President William Ruto's close aide, Farouk Kibet, on Friday, June 5, declared that a person from the Luhya Community must become president in 2032.
President William Ruto’s close aide, Farouk Kibet, on Friday, June 5, declared that a person from the Luhya Community must become president in 2032.
Speaking in Khwisero, Kakamega County, Kibet stated that it was high time that the community got a chance to lead the country after supporting other tribes for many years.
He reiterated that anybody who thought that Luhyas cannot lead the country was mistaken and noted that National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula was up to the task.
“Wetang’ula is suitable enough to lead the country. After going to the Rift Valley, the presidency will come to Western Kenya, and in 2032, a person from the Luhya community must occupy the top seat,” he stated.
Kibet made the sentiment during a function graced by several leaders from the Abaluhya tribe, who pushed for the Deputy Presidency role in 2027.
Bungoma Senator Wakoli Wafula urged President William Ruto to pick Wetang’ula as his running mate so that the Speaker can familiarise himself with the Presidency ahead of 2032.
On his part, Wetangula pledged his support for President William Ruto’s re-election in 2027, and asked him to return the favour in 2032.
“We will go to Sugoi and tell Ruto that since we supported him for his first and second term, when it comes to our time, he should also support us,” he stated.
