Speaking at Olkalao in Nyandarua County, Mutua said his move will help clear the air on his political stand as August 8 elections nears.

"I want to confess that I personally have refused to be like a watermelon. You neither know whether it is red or green. My focus is to ensure Uhuru serves for a second term as president and this I will achieve at all cost," said Mutua.

The Maendeleo Chap Chap leader said his friendship with president Uhuru Kenyatta had started long ago and that he will be with him at all costs.

"We shall rise and fall together with Uhuru, we shall eat and dine together, I have chosen to die with him because he is my friend and his political agenda and policy is to ensure that we all together move forward," he said.
