Deputy President William Ruto and Baringo Senator William Ruto set aside their political differences and shared a stage together during a Jubilee Party campaign tour in Baringo County.

The two alongside President Uhuru Kenyatta in a rare show of unity, attended a service on Sunday side by side at the Africa Inland Church (AIC), Kabartonjo in Baringo County where they asked all Kenyans to continue praying for the country’s peace and unity.

In a video that has quickly gone viral across various social media channels, Ruto came to the rescue of his long-time political rival Moi as he helped the Kanu Chairman find a bible verse during the service.

Ruto, who is known to be an ardent church-goer and a former Christian Union Chairman back in his university days, only took seconds to locate the main bible verse of the day during the service.

However, President Kenyatta and Moi who sat on either sides of Ruto, appeared to struggle to find the verse.

The President was the first to identify the verse but Moi was seen struggling hard to locate the bible verse as the pastor continued to read out from the scriptures.

Moi appeared glancing at Ruto’s bible as he continued in vain to find the verse for close to a minute before the Deputy President seeing his apparent struggle came to his rescue and helped him locate the bible verse.

Below is the video.

The Baringo Senator is on record saying that he will vie for the Presidency in 2022, a move that has put him in a direct collision course with Ruto, who has already declared he will also vie for the highest seat in the land after President Kenyatta completes his term.
