Deputy President William Ruto has said he won't resign despite receiving pressure from a section of Government and Opposition leaders.
"I was elected. I am not going to give those seeking to push me out of this government the opportunity to celebrate. I won't resign," Ruto said during an interview on
Citizen Television on Thursday, April 15.
The DP further stated he was ready to go it alone in the 2022 presidential race, with or without the support of President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Ruto, however, clarified he won't take offence if Kenyatta does not support him in the upcoming general election.
