“Wewe kweli ni mwanaume (You really are a man),” Wajackoyah was heard saying in the video.
Ruto in response thanked Wajackoyah, saying he at one point endorsed his bid.
“Nashkuru ulinitetea mahali moja ukisema hata kama hampendi huyu mtu… (Thank you for defending me in one place saying even if you don’t like this person…) William Ruto responded as they shared light moments at the Bomas of Kenya.
Apart from Wajackoyah, David Mwaure also conceded defeat and congratulated Ruto on being elected president.
