Mudavadi to Join Azimio if Raila Steps Down for Him or UDA for Gov't Position, Cleophas Malala

Kakamega senator Cleophas Malala has reiterated that Amani National Congress (ANC) leader Musalia Mudavadi must shop for political partners in his August 9 bid. 

Malala said Mudavadi is free to work with like-minded politicians on the condition that their partnership must assure him of presidency in the long run. 

Speaking to NTV Kenya on Monday, January 17, the senator said his ANC boss will only join the Azimio La Umoja if his ODM counterpart Raila Odinga steps down in his favour. 

At the same time, he added that the former vice president would join forces with Deputy President William Ruto if he was assured of a government job should he win the presidency. 

"I have told Musalia he wants to become the president, he must look out for partners whom he can trust. He must identify someone who has not betrayed him. If working with Ruto will one day make the president then be it. If Raila wakes up today and endorses Musalia, he will work with him," he stated. 

During Ruto's Eldoret rally on Saturday, January 8, Malala made a cameo appearance and hinted at the possibility of a Mudavadi-Ruto coalition.

"We must look beyond One Kenya Alliance which I belong to. I am asking you, people, if Musalia came here to look for more partners, and it happened to be Ruto, would that be okay? I want to tell those people lying about me, without blinking my eyes that your enemies are not necessarily our enemies," he said.
