Despite claims that defunct TNA and URP parties signed MOU prior to 2013 polls, Deputy President William Ruto has suggested otherwise.
In the historic merger at Nakuru in 2012, details emerged that President Uhuru Kenyatta had pledged to reciprocate the support to Ruto in 2022 polls.
But in an interview with NTV on Sunday, Ruto insisted that his decision to back Uhuru was not based on MOU, rather, his believe that the president will perform.
“I have never signed an MOU with Uhuru. I supported him as a gentleman on grounds that he will perform, which he has of course done.
“He does not owe me any debt neither does any region do. In fact, I don’t even remember Uhuru saying he will support me in 2022,” he said.
But throughout 2017 elections, the duo insisted that Ruto will be the de facto Jubilee candidate in 2022 and Uhuru pledged to ensure he also serves for two terms.
Instead, Ruto said that it is not guaranteed that he will be candidate for Jubilee in 2022 adding that he will support whoever who wins the ticket.
