Samson Cherargei is among the vocal politicians fighting for and supporting William Ruto to their last breath. He is currently serving as the senator for Nandi County since he was elected in the 2017 general elections.
Outside Parliament, the Senator has been one of the foot soldiers of Deputy President William Ruto, who is keen to succeed President Uhuru Kenyatta.
“Those who are fighting the Deputy President, we (sic) are profiling you … if you fight [the] DP you’re fighting us. Don’t think he doesn’t have supporters,” Cherargei told mourners.
He added a stern message, declaring, “As his supporters, if you continue fighting the DP, we are marking you and profiling you. When the time comes, we will deal with you. Even the DP has supporters and should be respected.”
His brand of politics has also seen him find himself on the wrong side of the law. At one point, he was arrested over alleged hate speech, a claim he has always denied.
In Nandi, Cherargei has emerged as a bitter political rival of Governor Sang. Just recently, the community elders were burning the midnight oil to reconcile the two youthful politicians.
