Amani National Congress party chairman Ken Lunani has said that Musalia Mudavadi should be NASA's flagbearer in the August general election.
This is after Mudavadi was crowned the Luhya community spokesperson on Saturday.
Lunani in a phone interview with the star dismissed other presidential candidates from the community urging them to rally behind Mudavadi.
The move is set to cause friction between Bungoma senator Moses Wetangula and Mudavadii.
Wetangula had earlier declared that he was the preferred presidential candidate from the Luhya community.
"Besides facing other bigwigs for the nomination of presidential candidate, Mudavadi will work closely with every leader in Western to forge unity that is crucial to stem out division," Lunani said.
Mudavadi has been pushing for the formation of the National Super Alliance which will comprise all opposition parties to face out with Uhuru Kenyatta.
