Bungoma Senator Moses Wetangula has said Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (Cord) belongs to him, former Prime Minister Raila Odinga and Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka.
According to the outspoken Senator, without the three leaders Cord will collapse.
Speaking to the Standard, Wetangula affirmed that they are equals when it comes to matters of the coalition.
He also rubbished claims that there is discord in Cord.
“Cord is the way to go. We formed it as equals. We’ve held onto Cord as equals and the question of whether we will remain together should not arise,’’ Wetangula said as quoted by Standard.
He added: 'Cord is the three of us and the three of us are Cord. The pillars of Cord are its parties. The leading lights of the party are its leadership."
Wetangula also said he backs Wiper Party Leader and former Vice President Stephen Kalonzo on the criterion to be used in picking the presidential candidate.
“The route that will cause little trouble is consensus. A consensus where we sit as partners and agree on an arrangement and then prevail upon our supporters and our colleagues to support and follow,” he said.
Wetangula and Kalonzo have been urging the former prime Minister to bow out of the race and allow them to test the political waters.
