[PHOTOS] Ruto, Musalia receive heroic reception in Vihiga

Kenya Kwanza Alliance led by deputy president William Ruto on Sunday pitched tents in Vihiga county for a series of campaign rallies.

The team that was hosted by ANC leader Musalia Mudavadi was treated to a heroic reception as thousands of locals turned up to meet the leaders.

Ford Kenya leader Moses Wetang'ula, a principal in the alliance, was also present.

The team drummed up support for the alliance even as they urged residents to vote in their team come August 9, elections.

They also used the platform to castigate the ODM leader Raila Odinga saying they have backed him enough times.

Ruto, in his address, said he has no problem with both President Uhuru Kenyatta and Raila saying he has backed them before.

"I have backed both Raila and Uhuru for the presidency. I have no problem with them at all. But this time I am after addressing the needs of the hustlers," he said

Mudavadi on his part said: "We are tired of supporting Raila, it's time we part ways. If they cannot support us we shall talk with voters to stand with us come August 9, general elections".

Wetang'ula shared similar sentiments with his colleagues saying they have backed Raila enough times and asked Western residents to put him aside this time around.

The team is expected to hold similar rallies in Busia county on Monday.
