Deputy President William Ruto’s attempts to solidify his support base in his Rift Valley backyard seems to be faltering after a number of MP and other leaders in the South Rift region developed cold feet on their support for him.

This comes in the wake of President Uhuru Kenyatta's purge targeting DP Ruto's allies holding key positions in the Senate and the National Assembly as differences between the Head of State and his deputy deepen.

Already, two of DP Ruto's key allies from the Rift Valley region – Elgeyo-Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen and his Nakuru counterpart Susan Kihika – have become casualties of the purge after they lost their positions as Senate majority leader and majority whip respectively.

Tharaka-Nithi Senator Kithure Kindiki, who was the Senate deputy speaker, Ms Cecily Mbarire and Mumias East MP Benjamin Washiali have also been removed from their positions in Parliament sending shockwaves among DP Ruto allies.
