Deputy President William Ruto and a group of Jubilee politicians were recently forced to end their campaign in Majengo, Vihiga County after irate residents turned against them.
The DP who was in the company of other Jubilee Party politicians were traversing Vihiga County in a campaign trail when they were met with hostility at Majengo market as angry residents shut down the Deputy President with pro-NASA songs, forcing him to leave the area in haste.
William Ruto and the Jubilee caravan was in the area to drum up support for President Uhuru Kenyatta re-election in the forthcoming October 17 polls.
Western Kenya is largely a National Super Alliance zone, something that makes it pretty hard for the ruling party to campaign in the region although it made inroads in the region during the August 8 General Election, even winning Governor and MP seats.
At the same time, former Maragoli South MCA who Zipo.co.ke has identified as Mama Anaya, was roughed up by angry Vihiga residents who accused her of buying IDs from Opposition supporters in Majengo town.
The former country rep was rescued from the hands of irate mob by police officers from Vihiga Police station.
Uhuru Kenyatta recently awarded former Bungoma Governor Ken Lusaka with the position of Speaker of Senate for the work he did for Jubilee Party in the last elections.
