The Garissa Town MP has significantly drifted away from Deputy President William Ruto, who he has been supporting for several years now.

Dr Ruto has opposed calls to have the constitution amended to expand the executive, arguing that the country is not ready for such moves.

And on Sunday at Garissa, Duale insisted that the country needs to adopt Parliamentary system of government, a move that is being spearheaded by Mr Odinga.

Mr Duale's move could further cause confusions among the Jubilee Tanga Tanga brigade, which supports DP William Ruto's 2022 quest.

"I am still supporting parliamentary system. If they're amendments, I am still with Raila on this. Inclusivity is not only at the lower level. It must also be at the presidency. Anybody who wants to lead must support parliamentary system," he said.

In 2012, Duale is among ODM MPs who dumped Raila Odinga for Dr Ruto. They formed United Republican Party which has since folded.

Mr Odinga is embroiled in a tough political duel with Ruto, with both shifting focus on constitutional amendments being backed by President Uhuru Kenyatta.

Recently, Raila warned that those opposing the changes will find it tough when time for referendum comes probably in 2020.

“You cannot resist change, if you try to resist it, the change will change you. The time for change in Kenya has come and nothing is as powerful as an idea whose time has come!,” said Raila
