Machakos governor Alfred Mutua has revealed that Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party leader Raila Odinga, promised him that he will support his presidential bid in 2022.
In an interview at K24 TV on Sunday, the Machakos County boss said that the first time he told Raila about his ambition of going for the presidential seat, the ODM party leader laughed at him.
However, he claimed that the former Prime minister advised him that in order for him to survive the competition, he needed to hit the ground.
"I have told Raila Odinga that I will run for President. He laughed about it. He asked me to hit the ground with campaigns. He promised to support my dream [of becoming a president]." Mutua said
Mutua has made it clear that he is going to run for presidency seat in the next general election that will take place in the year 2022.
"I am going to run for President in 2022. It is my time. " He said
It's been after a few days where governor Mutua opened up to the media that he was threatened by Deputy President, William Ruto, Senator Kipchumba Murkomen and majority leader, Aden Nduale.
However, the three Jubilee party leaders dismissed the allegations associating it with means of Mutua trying to seek attention from the public.
