Donald Kipkorir, a Nairobi-based lawyer on Wednesday shocked the azimio coalition of Raila Odinga supporters as he drummed his support for President William Ruto of Kenya Kwanza.
“On August 9, Kenyans elected William Ruto as its 5th President. He became the President of 52m Kenyans. As a patriotic Kenya, the principal obligation I have always held dear is loyalty to the President of the Country. I’ve never equivocated on this since I turned 18. I have never belonged to any political party & will never join any forever. I hereby & without any qualification pledge my allegiance & loyalty to our President, President William Ruto. To naysayers, I have no apologies to make. We must move on. c’est la vie!” Donald Kipkorir posted on his official Twitter account.
The IEBC declared William Ruto of the UDA Party winner of the August 9 presidential elections. However, Raila Odinga felt Ruto’s win was not legitimate and hence proceeded to the supreme court of Kenya, hoping to overturn the events.

The judges dismissed all the nine grounds Azimio’s legal team had framed as the issues for determination in the election petitions filed by Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Coalition Party presidential candidate Raila Odinga and six others.
The verdict that Dr. William Ruto, who polled 7.2 million or 50.49 percent of the total votes cast, was validly elected, paves the way for his swearing-in as the country’s fifth president next Tuesday. All the 23 grounds listed in the 72-page petition filed by Mr. Odinga and his running mate Martha Karua in the petition fell flat, as the seven judges unanimously found that Dr. Ruto won fair
Since 2005, I supported freely every political journey of Raila Odinga. Today, Kenya begins a new Chapter under President William Ruto. Those that let down Baba like Winnie Odinga & others at Azimio Secretariat now want to troll me. The trolling is misplaced & ill-advised.
