Nominated Member of Parliament Wilson Sosioni was forced to cut short his meeting after rowdy youth disrupted him for being Pro-Raila Odinga.
Sosioni who is an ODM nominated MP had on Sunday, January 9, called for a press conference to brief residents on Deputy President William Ruto‘s visit to the region from Monday, January 10.
Sosioni, who had been accompanied by a number of local leaders including, Bomet Governor Hillary Barchok and Senator Christopher Langat, could not address as the irate youths heckled him forcing the legislator to cut short his address and seek cover.
They denied him a chance to speak claiming that he is an intruder since he was nominated by Raila Odinga’s party (ODM).
The former trade unionist-turned lawmaker was escorted to his car by his bodyguards.
In October 2021, the firebrand trade unionist officially ditched Raila Odinga’s ODM party for Deputy President William Ruto’s United Democratic Alliance (UDA).
The nominated MP on Monday, October 11, revealed that the decision to shift allegiance to William Ruto’s political camp was reached after a meeting with elders from his rural home, who advised him to ditch ODM and popularise Ruto’s UDA party.
“They say charity begins at home, the elders of Motigo Sub location in Bomet Central have decided to endorse my senate aspirations in 2022,
“The elders have advised me to stick on the prize and avoid backing any politician but to support the Deputy President William Ruto in his 2022 presidential bid as well as popularizing the newly formed party UDA,” Sossion said.
Sosion who was nominated on ODM ticket in 2017 further said he ditched Raila Odinga’s party after sensing that it would be so hard for the former Prime Minister to succeed retiring president Uhuru Kenyatta in the 2022 presidential elections.
