Former Mungiki leader Maina Njenga has declared that the independence party, KANU, will be in state house come 2022.
He said this moments after he ditched Jubilee for Kanu after Jubilee rejected his nomination papers for the Laikipia senator seat citing integrity issues.
"Wenye wanataka urais wangonje. Rais atatoka katika chama cha Kanu (Those interested in the presidency wait. We will have a KANU President in 2022)."
Njenga said that Jubilee Party leader Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto had influenced the decision to reject his papers.
"Jubilee officials told me they were acting under instructions from President Uhuru Kenyatta and DP William Ruto. KANU is better than Jubilee," Njenga said at Kanu's Nairobi office on Wednesday where he was received by Kanu Chairman Gideon Moi who is also the Baringo Senator.
He added: " Hii ni chama ya kila mtu...chama cha baba na mama. Si kama huku penye waliangalia makaratasi wakaniambia ningonje jamaa mmoja apigiwe simu. Kwani chama ni ya mtu mmoja?" he posed.
Kanu chairman Gideon Moi who doesn't see eye to eye with DP Ruto is said to be preparing for the presidency after Uhuru's second term in 2022.
