“Lazima tumvalishe suti (Ruto) ndio akae vizuri. Kuanzia chini mpaka juu," Rachel Ruto

Deputy President William Ruto’s wife, Rachel Ruto, has called for the supporters of the DP’s UDA party to vote for the party’s candidates only in the upcoming August polls.

In a video seen  by Nairobileo.co.ke on Monday, the Second Lady urged voters to adopt the famous ‘six-piece’ voting pattern when they head to the ballot.

She said that it will enable the DP to have people who will help him in power if he succeeds President Uhuru Kenyatta after the polls.

“Ili tuweze kuwa na watu ambao watashikia deputy president hiyo kazi, lazima tupige ile inaitwa suit. Tarehe tisa mwezi wa nane tuko na bwana harusi ambaye ni deputy president. Na ndio aweze kuingia ikulu pia mimi nikuwe First Lady,” Rachel said.

“Lazima tumvalishe suti ndio akae vizuri. Kuanzia chini mpaka juu. Kwa hivyo tunasema kuanzia chini mpaka juu in chama chetu cha UDA,” she added.

The six-piece voting mode involves members of a particular party electing only the party’s candidates in all the six elective positions in a general election, which include President, Governor, Senator, MP, MCA and Woman Representative.

UDA is among the party constituents of the Kenya Kwanza Alliance, which has been registered as a coalition by the Registrar of Political Parties.
