According to the Deputy President, he said he was aware that some political leaders were preparing to form coalitions, objectively to bar him from becoming the President.

However, Ruto said he was ready to face his opponents head-on and asserting that Kenya must change for the better.

"Hawa watu wanajipanga lakini hata mimi nimejipanga. Hawa wangwana watakiona, watajua hawajui (These people are preparing but I am prepared too. These gentlemen will find it rough)" Ruto vowed.

Ruto challenged his opponents to compete based on issues and prepare for a tough race ahead.

Ruto was responding to calls by former NASA leaders to revive the coalition in order to face him in 2022.

On Saturday, ODM leader Raila Odinga termed the looming political alliance to "a political tsunami".

Ruto was addressing the public on Sunday after witnessing the installation of Bishop Rev Dr. Phillip Muia as the Machakos Bishop at the AIC Bomani Church.
