Deputy President William Ruto has said that anyone can be the president in the newfound alliance with Amani National Congress (ANC) party leader Musalia Mudavadi and his Ford Kenya counterpart Moses Wetang’ula.
Addressing jubilant Nakuru residents on Wednesday, January 26, the DP, who was accompanied by the former One Kenya Alliance (OKA) principals, said their political deal with Mudavadi and Wetang’ula is aimed at liberating the country.
DP Ruto said everyone in the New Kenya Kwanza alliance is qualified for the top job adding that none of them is power-hungry as it is in their rival political camps.
“Anyone in our alliance can be president, anyone in the alliance is capable of steering the team to State House because we are united by one common goal, which is to deliver Kenya and Kenyans at large from the shackles of poverty and unemployment,” Ruto said.
The second in command also took the opportunity to dismiss claims of a looming dispute with his newfound partners Musalia Mudavadi (ANC) and Moses Wetangula (Ford-Kenya) over the political outfit’s presidential flag bearer ahead of the August showdown.
The DP said the alliance’s focus is on leading the country to prosperity and not who will carry the mantle.
