Musalia Mudavadi, the leader of the Amani National Congress (ANC), said attempts by their opponents to keep President Uhuru Kenyatta in office will fail.
Mudavadi claims that the Azimio La Umoja Movement, led by former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, is dedicated to keeping President Kenyatta in power.
“We want to tell them that they will not succeed,” he said during a visit of Likuyani in Kakamega County on Tuesday. “The President has since made it known that he is the patron for the Azimio team, whose members are continuously conspiring to keep him in power,” he said.
He cited the Head of State’s association with the Azimio team stating that is is a clear indication that he has no plans to retire.
“This guy does not want to go home at all, he wants to have an arrangement like that which was witnessed in the DRC where the former President Joseph Kabila refused to step down from his party,” he said.
He noted that it is unfortunate that the Head of State had resulted to imposing former Prime Minister Raila Odinga to Kenyans as his preferred successor.
Mudavadi joined forces with the Deputy President William Ruto who cut ties with his boss – President Kenyatta.
In the tour at his backyard, Mudavadi asked the electorate to be alert and avert a scenario where Kenya will have a puppet President.
“Let us not risk of having a former President ruling the country through the backdoor. You need to elect in a government that will be independent and come up with programmes that will help our nation,” he said.
President Kenyatta is believed to be rooting for Odinga as his preferred successor in the August 2022 polls and on Monday while launching the Universal Health Coverage plan in Mombasa hinted that he will soon tell Kenyans on who he thinks should succeed him.
