Nominated lawaker David Sankok has maintained that President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto will approach the 2022 presidentian elections as an item.
This comes amid apparent cracks within the duo following Jubilee Party Vice Chair David Murathe's recent declaration that the DP is on his own with regards to the ambition.
But according to Sankok, the two leaders remain united despite anything, and those expecting their fallout are living in denial.
He said that the people suggesting that the two are on the verge of breaking up are trying to divert the nation's attention with the aim of political benefit in the same race.
"President and his Deputy have a solid bond. The two leaders came together in 2013 against odds after the 2007/08 post-election violence,” he was quoted by the Standard on Friday.
He also maintained that the two leaders have a 10-year each agreement which dictates Uhuru to support Ruto to success him as he approaches his retirement in 2022.
The parliamentarian added that more leaders are welcome into the parry to strengthen it ahead of the much anticipated elections.
This, however, comes at a time when a number of Uhuru's Central Kenya backyard have rubbished the narrative, but Sankok is of the opinion that it exists and will be honored.
“Jubilee had a pact of 10 years of Uhuru and another 10 years for Ruto. This still stands but for the purposes of democracy and any other candidate wishing to join the truce was welcome,” he added.
