Nairobi — Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has intimated that President William Ruto will easily sail through in the 2027 general elections campaign as he urged Busia residents to support the ruling coalition.

During a tour in Busia County, Gachagua boasted that President Ruto's solid delivery credentials will ensure a smooth sail among his competitors for him to serve Kenyans for two constitutional terms.

"If you sow for an year to the next and still fail to reap. Will continue sowing really? You will either change the crop or the farm," he stated.

"You left this young man (Ruto) and went to Maandamano Mzee (Odinga) all this year since 1997-2022 you have lost with him. What math do you do?"

The Deputy President wooed the Busia residents who traditionally channel their support Azimio La Umoja Leader Raila Odinga to join the Kenya Kwanza Alliance bandwagon come the next general elections.

"What lose will you have to join Ruto, just join this young man come the next polls.If in 2022 he defeat Raila despite him having Uhuru, the State and the Police.2027 will be a smooth sail," Gachagua said.

"We thank Wetangula and Musalia for seeing the light and joining Ruto. Now Musalia is the prime minister and Wetang'ula the Speaker of the National Assembly. Open your eyes like them and join leader who will be successful," he added.

Western has for long been considered a stronghold of Raila judging from the number of votes it gets from the region in elections.

In 2007, 2013 and 2017 general elections, Odinga bagged the lion's share of the region's votes for his presidential bids, at the same time also bagging the highest number of Members of Parliament.
