Millionaire businessman Bundotich Kiprop will not back down for Uasin Gishu Governor Jackson Mandago despite the DP's request. Kiprop alias Buzeki announced this on Saturday, just hours after Deputy President William Ruto declared support for Mandago and asked him to quit the race. "Let the people of Uasin Gishu decide on August 8," he further told The Star and reiterated that he will be in the race to the end. The businessman further said the people of Uasin Gishu cannot be intimidated where their democratic rights are concerned.
