The former Bomet Governor Isaac Ruto has hinted at a major reorganisation of his party.
Chama Cha Mashinani leader Ruto is in talks with political bigwigs from across the country who have expressed serious interest in it ahead of the 2022 General Election.
“We are in talks with a number of governors, members of parliament and a wide array of politicians keen on joining the party following the unfolding political realignments in the country. A number of them will make their positions public in due course,” said Mr Ruto.
However the former Chairperson of the Council of Governor Isaac Ruto has come clean on the claims that his party CCM is aimed at undermining The Deputy President William Ruto to succeed President Uhuru Kenyatta.
“The claim that we are fighting some people including the deputy president is far-fetched as our preoccupation is to popularise CCM in the spirit of openness, democracy, unity, fostering cohesion in society and seeking to stamp out tribalism which is deep-rooted in the country,” Mr Ruto said.
He said that for the simple reason that a number of Jubilee leaders including Uasin Gishu-based politician Zedekiah Kiprop Bundotich, popularly known as Buzeki, and his supporters had decamped to CCM does not mean that the team is fighting the DP.
But Isaac Ruto is pushing for a system where people are not dictated on their political choice.
“What we are openly against is a situation where the masses are dictated to, as has happened before, to toe a particular political order and vote in selected leaders instead of the popular ones they would have preferred. That we would not agree. It is a direction we will not take,” said Mr Ruto.
