After a bitter dispute with the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) and its party leader over nominations, Mosop Member of Parliament Vincent Tuwei publicly shared Deputy President William Ruto’s phone number.
Tuwei claims to have been rigged out of the Mosop parliamentary ticket by crude party officials.

MP Leaks Ruto’s Phone Number
And on Monday, May 2; Tuwei shared a screenshot of his call log, showing the DP’s phone number had tried to reach him through three missed calls.
The lawmaker stated that he had ignored Ruto’s calls, whom he refers to as an oppressor, suspecting ulterior motives.
“Missed calls from the oppressor himself. I will not bow down to pressure into stepping down for those who rigged me out,” the MP remarked.
Tuwei has long been a close acquaintance of his Nandi County colleague, Alfred Keter, who represents the Nandi Hills constituency.
They’ve had poor relations with the DP for years, but the feud with the UDA erupted almost immediately after the party released its nomination dates.
The Mososp MP said that some of his party members, notably Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi, were hell-bent on rigging the party primary against him.
“I am aptly upset by the party leader, DP Ruto, and leadership over the shambolic placing of returning officers, presiding officers and clerks overseeing the process. This shows how untrue he is to his word that UDA stands for democracy.
“This was evident when Sudi instructed Nandi County party officials to give known individuals the above positions. For these reasons, I am compelled to pull out of tomorrow’s nomination process,” read a press statement dated April 13.
However, the legislator allayed his fears and took part in the party primaries, which he lost to a newcomer, Abraham Kirwa. Tuwei revealed that he would be contesting as an independent candidate, and threatened to resign from the party.
The Mp revealed he’ll embark on a mission to campaign against UDA and the Kenya Kwanza presidential aspirant’s bid to succeed incumbent President Uhuru Kenyatta.
“William Samoei Ruto, through Oscar Sudi stole my victory. He went against the will of the people of the Mosop constituency. We will never be silenced. We will vote against oppressors and Projects come August,” he stated.
