Speaker Muturi dismisses claims of joining One Kenya Alliance ahead of August polls
National Assembly Speaker Justin
Muturi has dismissed claims of teaming up with the One Kenya Alliance (OKA) in
the run up to the August 9, 2022 presidential race.
Muturi, who has declared interest
in succeeding President Uhuru Kenyatta on a Democratic Party (DP) ticket, said
such a coalition deal can only be ratified by the party’s National Delegates Conference
(NDC) that is scheduled to meet at the end of this month.
OKA principals Musalia Mudavadi,
Kalonzo Musyoka, Moses Wetangula and Cyrus Jirongo visited Muturi at his Thigiri
ridge official residence on January 6, sparking claims of a pact.
“Ni viongozi ambao
tumekuwa nao kwa muda mrefu, na ni marafiki, walifika kwangu kunipa pole na
kuniambia nipone haraka panapo majaliwa yake Mwenyezi Mungu,” said Muturi at a
press address on Wednesday.
“Democratic
Party has always worked with other like-minded parties in the past and this
time round cannot be an exception, and therefore we as a party are open to
working with other like-minded parties or leaders who desire the very best for
this country.”
