National Super Alliance (NASA) co-principal Musalia Mudavadi is the talk of the town after an influential Mt Kenya politician backed his candidacy in the 2022 succession politics.
Jubilee Party vice chairman David Murathe sensationally claimed that the central region is not bound to support Dr Ruto’s 2022 presidential bid.
Mr Murathe’s comments were followed by Jubilee secretary-general Raphael Tuju who recently said the DP would not automatically be the party’s flagbearer in the next elections.
Musalia Mudavadi has however in the past explained in details how President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Deputy William Ruto duped him in the run up to the 2013 general elections.
The Amani National Coalition (ANC) party leader disclosed how the Jubilee politicians visited him at his home without an appointment and made him some promises that they would deny later.
“William Ruto was driving the car and Uhuru was occupying the co-driver’s seat. (Tourism Minister) Najib Balala and (Kwale gubernatorial aspirant) Chirau Mwakwere were seated at the back,” Mudavadi Said.
“I welcomed them all because we love visitors. We discussed and agreed on everything, signed and shook hands. My wife then prepared tea, mandazi and samosas which they feasted on. Two weeks later they jumped the gun and even started referring to me as madimoni (the devil). Now I want to tell them that I am the real devil in NASA,” he said.
The former Vice President has in the past consistently claimed that they had entered into a signed pre-election agreement between Uhuru, Ruto and him, which would have seen him named the Jubilee Coalition Presidential flag bearer, but he said that the three later changed the rhythm and betrayed him.
Mudavadi said that he came up with the National Super Alliance idea in order to save the country from the Jubilee administration that had brought the economy of the country to its knees.
He even called on residents to turn out in large number during the last general elections and vote for Raila Odinga.
