Mudavadi Maintains He’s Firmly Behind Ruto Amid Links To New Party
Prime Cabinet Secretary and Cabinet Secretary for Foreign and Diaspora Affairs Musalia Mudavadi has dismissed claims linking him to a new political party.
In a statement on Sunday, Mudavadi’s office, through the Director of the Press Service Office, expressed concern over the media reports, emphasizing that he remains firmly in the government.
“For the record and avoidance of doubt, Mudavadi is firmly in the Government under the Kenya Kwanza Alliance Administration led by H.E. Dr. William Samoei Ruto, President of the Republic of Kenya and Commander-In-Chief of the Defence Forces”, said Jacob Ng’etich.
Ng’etich further explained that the Amani National Congress (ANC), which joined President Ruto’s United Democratic Alliance (UDA), did so voluntarily, with the decision being endorsed by the party members.
He defended his political record saying that he has always been genuine.
“Throughout his political life, Mudavadi has maintained integrity, honesty, and dignity in his way of doing things and has never had a double face”, the statement adds.
“Mudavadi believes in high ideals of unity and cohesion and the move to merge his ANC party with the President’s UDA party was voluntary and was endorsed by the party members”, the statement said.
It added “His former ANC party officials are among the highest echelons in the ruling party, including the deputy party leader position. They are key decision-makers in the way of running the political outfit”.
Mudavadi assured that he had no intention of joining any other political outfit, reaffirming his commitment to diligently serving the people of Kenya under the current government.
Before joining the government, Mudavadi led the ANC party, which allied with other parties to form the Kenya Kwanza alliance ahead of the 2022 general elections.
After the merger, ANC Party Leader and Lamu Governor Issa Timamy became the Deputy Party Leader of UDA, while ANC Chairperson Kelvin Lunani served as Vice Chairman under Cecil Mbarire.
Emuhaya Member of Parliament Omboko Milemba deputised UDA Secretary General Hassan Omar.
