NAIROBI, Kenya, Jan 29 — The United Democratic Alliance has denied a report carried on the Standard newspaper on Saturday detailing an alleged power sharing with ANC and FORD Kenya terming it as inaccurate and one that is based on journalistic assumptions.
The party led by Deputy President Willian Ruto dismissed the reports in a statement issued on Saturday.
UDA Secretary General Veronica Maina said details of the cooperation with ANC’s Musalia Mudavadi and FORD Kenya’s Moses Wetangula will be unveiled at an appropriate time.
“The details of the cooperation between UDA, ANC and Ford Kenya and any other political party if at all will formally be unveiled by the principals at an appropriate time. In the meantime, I urge members of the public and our supporter to ignore such misinterpretation and treat it with the contempt it deserves,” said Maina.
She further pointed an accusing finger at their competitors labeling them as the sponsors of the fake news.
The news report by the Standard alleged that the agreement is to have the Deputy President run for presidency and pick his preferred running mate while Mudavadi was to be picked as the Chief Minister while Ford Kenya’s Moses Wetangula was to be allocated two cabinet slots and be given free Bungoma Senate seat nomination.
It further stated that UDA would present a Deputy Governor for Nairobi County while ANC produces candidates to run as Governor in Nairobi, Kakamega and Vihiga.
The report also indicated that would pick a senate candidate in Trans Zoia County while ANC would pick Finance and Devolution Cabinet Secretaries while Ford Kenya would pick a governor candidate for Bungoma and Trans Zoia.
The three parties joined hands on Sunday during an ANC National Delegates Conference and they have since held joint rallies in Nakuru, Bungoma and Kirinyaga.
