In the Nation newspaper report of Wednesday Januray 12, Ruto is also claimed to have warned his allies to stop open campaigns on aspirants as this could be construed to mean he has preferred candidates ready to hand 2022 tickets.
He has nonetheless allowed areas where there is no competition between UDA aspirants to have campaigns.
