Trans Nzoia Deputy Governor Philomena Kapkory has declared her support for President William Ruto’s administration, contrary to the stand taken by her boss, Governor George Natembeya.
Kapkory and Natembeya have not been seeing eye to eye and haven’t been seen together during public events in months. The latter is a vocal critic of President Ruto.
The deputy governor announced her stand while attending a women’s empowerment drive in Cherengany Constituency, which was led by Deputy President Kithure Kindiki.
"Are you happy to see our guests? Now, by a show of hands, can I see two terms for President Ruto? Wow, I am also supporting our president 100% because we have seen what he has done in less than three years," said Kapkory while addressing the guests.The leader further stated that a majority of Kenyans believe in Ruto’s leadership and that they will support his re-election bid in 2027.
