Maendeleo Chap Chap (MCC) party leader Alfred Mutua has been warned against his possible move of joining Deputy President William Ruto’s Kenya Kwanza.
This comes just a day after Mutua threatened to ditch ODM leader Raila Odinga’s Azimio la Umoja – One Kenya Coalition for Kenya Kwanza movement headed by the deputy president.
However, speaking during the MCC Aspirants meeting at KICC on Thursday, April 7, an aspirant from Busia County who is eying the Teso South parliamentary seat in this year’s polls said he has worked with the second in command to popularise UDA and that he does not advise any politician to join him.
The aspirant told Mutua that she dumped UDA for MCC after realizing that the Kenya Kwanza presidential flag bearer cannot be sold in Busia.
“And I want to tell my party leader that please, fight for a place within the Azimio la Umoja. Because in Busia, you can’t even sell UDA, you can’t sell Kenya Kwanza that’s like telling us we have already lost,” the aspirant disappointed with the inner workings of the Azimio la Umoja – One Kenya Coalition.
But the aspirant advised the county boss to independently vie for the country’s top seat if indeed he could not iron out his issues with Raila Odinga-led coalition.
“Please don’t leave Azimio and if it is a must you ditch Azimio kindly stand on your own because you are also a man enough to stand and vies as a president,” she said.
Spreading out his potential next moves, Mutua revealed that he had a pending chat with the DP over a possible move to Kenya Kwanza alliance.
“There is the option of joining Kenya Kwanza. I saw a missed call this morning from Deputy President William Ruto. I haven’t spoken to him, his people have been calling me for the last couple of weeks,
“They want us to come together but I will not talk to him until I first talk to my people,” Mutua said.
