Deputy President William Ruto was today heckled by NASA supporters as he tried to campaign for President Uhuru Kenyatta's re-election in the Western region.
The deputy president, who was accompanied by former Vihiga County Governor Moses Akaranga, was denied a chance to address Majengo residents.
The visit by the DP comes a week after President Kenyatta received a delegation of politicians from the Western region, among them Mr Akaranga.
At the same time, Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua faced a rough time after Ukambani residents booed him and blocked his motorcade as he campaigned for President Kenyatta in Machakos.
