Throughtout his political history, William Ruto has been rebelious and won from 1997 when he ventured into active politics todate. In 1997, he expressed his intention to contest Eldoret North Parliamentary seat against Reuben Chesire. Chesire was a cross friend former president Daniel Moi, the former president was not amused, and he prevailed upon him to give Reuben another chance since William Ruto was still regarded relatively young and contest later, however William Ruto defied Moi's plea and went a head to contest and won.
In 2006 Ruto was at it again, this time he wanted to.contest for presidency on KANU ticket, this intention did not go down well with top KANU leadership and they opposed him vehemently. Ruto was forced to move to Odm of Raila Odinga where he participated in Odm primaries and came third after Raila Odinga and Mudavadi respectively. Later he served in various cabinet positions in the grand coalition government. This was an elevation from.the first time when he served in KANU government.
In 2010 again, william.Ruto rebelled against Raila Odinga, when Odinga spear headed the eviction of the m the majority kalenjin from Mau water catchment area. This did not go down well with the majority kalenjins hence in 2013, Ruto again left Odm and teamed with Uhuru Kenyatta as a running mate in 2013 general.election. The duo went on to win the controversial election and Ruto became the deputy president where he currently serves todate.
Now the question is, will he he defy president Uhuru and win the president come 2022? Time will tell.
