A section of politicians allied to Deputy President William Ruto under the Tangatanga faction of the Jubilee Party now want Amani National Congress (ANC) leader Musalia Mudavadi to join the DP's camp.
Led by former Kakamega Senator and latest entrant in Jubilee Party Boni Khalwale, the group on Monday called upon Amani National Congress (ANC) leader Musalia Mudavadi to join the race to deputize the DP in the 2022 polls.
He urged the former Vice President to make wise choices with regards to his political affiliation early enough, saying that he needs to be on the safe side despite being under great pressure to go for the presidency.
"Nothing is wrong if Mudavadii will works with Ruto in 2022 and even deputise him as he prepares for the top seat himself," he told the Standard.
Matungu MP Justus Murunga said that Mudavadi still lacks what it takes to win the top seat and should consider working with more capable leaders, Ruto in this context.
He said thay its only this way that he coild realize his presidential ambitions in the future, saying that he is not in any position to make any notable effect currently.
"The bid for presidency is not a village affair but a national one and you need support from strong partners from other communities across the board," said the MP who is allied to Ruto despite being elected on the ANC ticket.
Mumias East MP Benjamin Washiali and Nelson Koech (Belgut) made similar remarks.
