South Mugirango Member of Parliament Sylvanus Osoro has dismissed claims that he is a member in the ruling Jubilee Party.
In an interview on Monday evening at KTN television, Osoro said his close association with Deputy President William Ruto does not qualify him to be a Jubilee member.
"I want to tell people the truth about me. I am not a Jubilee party member as being claimed. I chose to work with leaders in Jubilee party including DP Ruto for the sake of development," said Osoro.
The vocal legislator maintained he will not look back in supporting DP Ruto's 2022 presidential bid arguing that it is his democratic right to support whoever he wants irrespective of the political party.
"DP Ruto's plan to vie for presidency is the reason a section of leaders in the famous 'Kieleweke' team are bringing trouble in Jubilee Party so that the party may collapse before 2022," stated Osoro.
Mr Osoro is the chief campaigner of the DP in Kisii and Nyamira Counties. He was elected on Kenya National Congress party which is associated with his predecessor Manson Nyamweya.
