Muranga leaders have lauded and thanked William Ruto for standing with President Uhuru Kenyatta since 2013.
Led by Senator Irungu Kang'ata, they said they will repay the
Deputy President
in kind.
"We as Mt Kenya, and specifically Murang'a county, sincerely thank the DP for standing with our son and leader in his first term, and even now, despite the few hurdles in the re-election bid."
The Supreme Court nullified Uhuru's August 8 victory after NASA candidate Raila Odinga filed a petition at the Supreme Court.
The repeat the court ordered will take place on October 26.

Murang'a Governor Mwangi wa Iria said they have formulated a plan to ensure a large voter turnout.
"We are meeting all voters at all polling stations to ensure the 80,000 who did not participate in the poll are part of the repeat exercise," the Governor told residents on Saturday.
"We want to
ensure the President is re-elected with over 10 million votes."
