Deputy President William Ruto has dismissed the latest opinion poll findings from Infotrak, which show that he is lagging his major presidential competitor Raila Odinga.
Ruto, while dismissing the poll results which indicate a 4 percent gap behind Raila Odinga said there was a plot to deceive the people and that the Azimio head is benefiting from State support to further his presidential candidacy.
