“I am at liberty to work with anyone who has the same aspirations as ours, including the Deputy President and other likeminded leaders. We are tired of being told that we are working for William Ruto. Let me say that we welcome Ruto as long as he supports our bid for the Presidency,” Mudavadi said.

Mudavadi and his Ford Kenya counterpart Moses Wetangula have been rumoured to be working with the DP for the past few months. In fact, this is the reason COTU Secretary General Francis Atwoli has been working to whittle down their influence in Western Kenya. Wetangula is facing ouster from Ford Kenya while Musalia has lost his position as the Luhya spokesperson.
