Deputy President William Ruto landed at the Susan Owiyo Arts Centre in Kisumu on Tuesday to start his three-day tour in the Nyanza region.

The DP hosted his allies from Nyanza in the lakeside city where grassroots groups handed over the region’s economic blueprint to him before meeting his UDA coordinators.

The DP is expected to hold a series of political rallies in Kisumu county before heading to Homa Bay and Migori counties.

On Wednesday, he will tour the famous Kondole then head to Kisumu West constituency at Nyahera to meet small-scale traders and make donations before winding up his tour at the Nyalunya Primary School in Kisumu East, where he is expected to give a donation to the institution.

On Thursday, the DP will crisscross Homa Bay county with a similar agenda of youth and women's empowerment and marketing his bottom-up development plan, which he has described as revolutionary and the gateway to economic liberation.

After Homa Bay, the UDA leader and his entourage will land in Migori county where he will be received by Governor Okoth Obado and the two leaders will address a number of rallies in the county as well as preside over a number of harambees.

Governor Obado, the Peoples Democratic Party leader, has thrown his weight behind DP Ruto’s 2022 presidential bid and could be among his luminaries in Luo Nyanza during the campaigns.
