Do you remember the short-lived deal between President Uhuru Kenyatta and Amani National Congress party leader Musalia Mudavadi back in 2013?
Well, former Kiambu governor William Kabogo has revealed the secret between Uhuru-Mudavadi deal that was withdrawn a few moments to 2013 general elections.
Speaking during KTN News’ point blank show on Wednesday night, Kabogo recounted the dramatic U-turn by Uhuru to run for president in 2013 after he had decided to back Mudavadi for the top seat.
He claimed he confronted Deputy President Dr Wiliam Ruto for misleading Uhuru to give up his presidential candidacy when he maintained his running-mate slot.
Kabogo said the pressure to have Uhuru out of the race was mainly because of the cases against them at the International Criminal Court, which was touching the two.
He wondered why Ruto was not ready to opt out of the race but backed Uhuru’s decision to back Mudavadi instead.
“I believe Kenyatta was put under immense pressure by interested parties. We went to his place and spent 10 to 15 hours talking with him,” he said.
“Ruto came and I was offended with him because he had agreed to give out Uhuru’s candidacy but maintained his.”
