ODM party leader Raila Odinga (2ND L) Governor Ruto (2ND R) and Ruto’s wife and son when the two politicians met in December 2016.

Bomet County governor Isaac Ruto is expected to join the National Super Alliance this weekend.

The governor who heads the Chama Cha Mashinani party will host National Super Alliance leaders in Bomet on Saturday when he is expected to officially join NASA.

ODM leader Raila Odinga, Kalonzo Musyoka (Wiper), Musalia Mudavadi (ANC) and Moses Wetangula (Ford Kenya) will hold a formal meeting with the governor before having lunch and subsequently addressing a rally in Bomet town in the afternoon.

NASA Chief Executive Officer Norman Magaya all but confirmed Ruto’s switch on Tuesday.

“I can tell you without a doubt that we are reading from the same script with Isaac and he loves this country,” Magaya said.

“He [Governor Rutto] appreciates that Jubilee has completely destroyed the fabric that holds the nation together and he will be affirming his commitment and his love for the nation by officially joining the National Super Alliance.”

The Saturday rally will be the second major opposition event hosted by Governor Ruto — after a huge homecoming rally in November last year.
