Mwingi Central MP Gideon Mulyungi now wants Deputy President William Ruto to support Kalonzo Musyoka's 2022 presidential bid.
Mulyungi said Kalonzo stands a better chance to win in 2022 polls than Ruto and others who have declared their interests in the top seat.
Speaking in Kitui town on Saturday, the Wiper MP asked DP Ruto to back Kalonzo as a sign of good statesmanship.
He said Kalonzo will not disappoint Kenyans if he is given a chance to lead the country.
"Kalonzo is an experienced and focused person, Kenyans will enjoy his leadership if elected president in 2022," Mulyungi said.
Mulyungi said the Ukambani community is ready to take up top leadership.
"We are going to sale Kalonzo's presidency everywhere because we believe in his leadership," he said.
The MP said Ukambani has blessed Kalonzo's 2022 bid, adding that those against him are enemies of development.
Kalonzo is among the leaders who have declared interests in the presidential seat.
There are speculations that Kalonzo could partner with Ruto in 2022.
Kalonzo's party plans to re-brand and market itself ahead of the much anticipated 2022 general election.
