President Uhuru Kenyatta has dismissed the ongoing faceoff between a section of his Jubilee Party members regarding the 2022 general elections.
This follows remarks by Jubilee Vice Chair David Murathe who on Wednesday claimed that the party might change its mind on supporting Deputy President William Ruto for the presidency in 2022.
However, in an interview with the press from the Mombasa State House Friday night, Uhuru dismissed Murathe's remarks, refusing to be involved in the issue.
He said that whatever was said and what follows is not his interest and that he will not be party to the ongoing wrangles between his juniors.
"That's their own issue. Let the people speaking about 2022 politics speak. I will not be part of that debate," he said.
"I am not thinking about 2022, I am looking at the future, I am looking at 2030 and ahead.We will always have elections after every 5 years and cannot always be talking about the same issue," he added.
He added that his main interest now is to address national issues of future benefit.
"Myself and like minded people and fellow politicians will only concentrate on issues that will change the lives of Kenyans,"he added.
Murathe also said that Uhuru's Central Kenya backyard might overturn its initial pledge to back Ruto's bid.
The same has since resulted to bitter reactions from the DP's sympathizers, most of whom have rubbished the claims as uncalled for.
