"There is going to be formations and it will be up to Kenyans. Let the best side win," he said.

The announcement came just a few hours after Murathe announced his resignation from the ruling party, where he served as Vice Chair.

Addressing the media from his home, Murathe explained that he quit Jubilee because his position is party was no longer tenable.

"I now find that it is no longer tenable to stay on as the party vice-chairman, given that I will have to sit in the same National Executive Council with a man I am taking to court to block from running for presidency" Murathe said.
