However Kanu has been making considerate steps especially when it comes to top leadership of the country.
Tiaty MP William Kamket said the party will have a “presidential candidate known to the people” by the time the country goes to the polls.
He said Kanu has gone around the country on a meet-the-people tour and it is evident that it has a huge following.
“We have been meeting the people and Kanu will have a presidential candidate known to you. We will have a flag bearer,” the MP said at Churo Secondary Girls in Tiaty, Baringo County.
