DP William Ruto blamed Odinga for the chaos witnessed. 

Deputy President William Ruto's convoy was on Sunday, June 19 stoned by rowdy youths as it made its way into the Jacaranda grounds in Embakasi Nairobi county.

Ruto and his Kenya Kwanza principles including his running mate Rigathi Gachagua, Musalia Mudavadi, and Moses Wetangula were on top of their vehicles acknowledging greetings from roadside supporters before hell broke loose.

They were forced to retreat back into their cars after the youth emerged from nearby structures and started pelting their convoys with stones.

The DP blamed Raila Oding for the chaos witnessed without providing any proof. 

"Msikubali hizi vitisho vidogo vidogo, they know we will take them home on the 9th of August. The politics of throwing stones is archaic and should not be allowed in this era. I want to warn Raila against using Kenyan youth to throw stones. If you have no agenda just go home," stated Ruto.


He thanked his supporters for staying adamant and ensuring that the rally goes on well despite all the hitches.

Ruto exuded confidence of victory at the ballot adding that his competitors are now afraid.

"I want to thank the youths of Nairobi for refusing to be threatened. Those preventing us from conducting our rally here know that we have defeated them. They should meet us at the ballot instead. I want to remind those misusing the youths that they have remained with only 50 days in office. We will redeem Kenya on the 9th of August," he added
