The Third Way Alliance party has confirmed its support for the newfound unity between President Uhuru Kenyatta and opposition leader Raila Odinga after their March 9 truce.
Speaking on Radio Jambo on Monday evening, the party Secretary General Frederick Okango maintained that the decision has been well thought by the Ekuru Aukot-led side.
He noted that the party is right in its move basing on Aukot's legal and political experience, further revealing that the former presidential candidate is at the International Criminal Court (ICC) court in the Netherlands for work purposes.
"Sisi tuko sawa katika maamuzi yetu. Kwa mfano ukimuangalia Aukot ni wakili mheshimika. Hata sasa yuko Hague katika shughuli za kikazi (we are right in our decision under Aukot who is actually currently at the Hague for work purposes)," he said.
Okango further called upon the nation and the political class to shun the prolonged politicking and concentrate on more positive campaigns, stressing on the need for the country to recover from last year's heavily contested polls.
"Kuna haja sasa ya sisi kuachana na siasa na kuendeleza nchi yetu (its now time to shun politics and concentrate on development)," he added.
Aukot emerged a distant third in the August 8 election after Uhuru and Raila respectively and second in the October 26 repeat which was boycotted by Odinga.
