Kikuyu MP Kimani Ichung’ has pleaded with ODM Party leader Raila Odinga to declare support for Deputy President (DP) William Ruto's presidential in 2022.
Ichung’wa says that Raila should support Ruto if he is serious in seeing the country unite and reconcile.
Speaking to journalists in Kikuyu Town on Sunday, Ichung’wa noted that the country will unite if Raila endorses DP Ruto's bid.
The Jubilee MP said that DP Ruto massively supported Raila in the disputed 2007 general election that saw him appointed as Prime Minister in the coalition government.
“Raila Odinga should declare support for DP Ruto in 2022 if indeed he is serious on maters national unity and reconciliation,” he said on Sunday.
Ichung’wa at the same time warned the ODM leader against using the pact he signed with President Uhuru Kenyatta to undermine the Jubilee government or campaign for his own interests.
He said that they are keenly watching the former Prime Minister urging him to be sincere on what they discussed and agreed with President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Several politicians allied to Jubilee have cautioned Uhuru to be careful about the former prime Minister.
The politicians among them Kiambu governor Ferdinand Waititu claim that is will be too dangerous if Uhuru completely trusts the former prime minister.
On Sunday, Waititu advised DP Ruto not close his years whenever he is around the former Prime Minister.
Political pundits are claiming that Uhuru and Raila famous handshake could undermine DP Ruto’s 2022 presidential bid.
