Deputy President William Ruto has accused Opposition coalition the National Super Alliance (NASA) of advancing tribal politics.
Speaking in Nyeri on Thursday, Ruto claimed that NASA was dividing Kenyans along tribal lines, urging residents to support Jubilee Party during the August polls, arguing that it is the only party that is committed to unite all Kenyans.
“We brought together 12 parties but they are struggling to unite only four parties because they are hanging on to their tribes. They cannot even decide on their presidential flag bearer,” the Daily Nation quoted him.
NASA is a conglomeration of four major parties that include: Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), Wiper Democratic Movement, Amani National Congress (ANC) and Ford Kenya.
He further affirmed Jubilee Party's commitment to conduct free, fair and credible primaries, observing that the will of people will be respected.
“All those seeking seats should join Jubilee. But we will not force leaders on you,” he said.
