Deputy President William Ruto is set to unveil candidates in the forthcoming by-elections, setting the stage to face-off with President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Allies of Dr Ruto said they would sponsor candidates in Nairobi, Machakos, Matungu and Kabuchai on the newly-formed United Democratic Alliance (UDA) or as independents.
This implies that the DP – who is also the Jubilee deputy party leader – will campaign against candidates of the ruling party in what is set to open a new battle front.
