What you need to know:

  • Most of those supporting the DP are former ODM loyalists who fell out with the party.
  • His pointmen in the region include Mr Eliud Owallo, Mr Odinga’s former strategist. 
  • Mr Ruto is expected to tour Kisumu next week.

Deputy President William Ruto’s inroads into Nyanza region appear to be taking shape as he seeks to penetrate ODM leader Raila Odinga’s stronghold.

A week after his visit to South Nyanza, the DP’s handlers are now laying the ground to what will become his maiden political tour of Luo Nyanza.
