The Tanga Tanga allied politician lauded the Building Bridges Initiative reiterating that it has given leaders a chance to work together without chipping in their political alignments
At the same time, he advised the wiper boss to seek a different formula since his support to Raila Odinga in 2012 and 2017 has proved futile
“The only mistake I made is that I failed to tell Kalonzo their candidate would not become president, Stephen, I helped Uhuru become president twice and he is about to retire, my friend, let’s walk together… “Ruto said in part.
The statement by the second-in-command has emerged after it was alleged that he secretly met Kalonzo in Sudan.
Ruto went of a private trip to Sudam on Tuesday
The Standard reported the Ruto and Kalonzo met on the same day in Khartoum airport

“Nothing pre-planned happened. There was no meeting at all. It is a desperate attempt to say the meeting was pre-planned. The DP was in the company of Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi. Also present at the airport was Kenya’s ambassador Chris Mburu,” Kalonzo was quoted.
