Our aspirations, our thinking, our ideologies are the same, we both support the same course, we both support the BBI,\u201d said Gideon.\u00a0The Baringo senator added that the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) will solve the ongoing revenue sharing row.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn BBI, 35 per cent of the national government\u2019s revenue will go to the counties, so why would we not support it?\u201d he posed.\u00a0Gideon said their aim as leaders is to uplift the lives of people, and Kanu is rooting for like-minded individuals to create synergies to push this agenda.\u00a0\u201cIt is a match made in heaven,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Magara said going into a coalition does not mean a party will be dissolved. He said this will form a base and strategy for engaging to make the merger bigger and better.\u00a0He said both parties will form a team and append a document that will address the needs of the cooperation.\u00a0\u201cThere is a way we can cooperate if our interests are the same, we seek partnerships to move to the next level and win power,\u201d Magara said.<\/p>\n<p>He said PDP is still open to talk to others for possible partnerships, as this will only make their merger with Kanu bigger.\u00a0\u201cWorking as an entity is not bad as long as we use it to synergise and give value to each other. Political parties need to work together,\u201d Magara said.<\/p>\n<p>Kanu Secretary General Nick Salat said the party is on a revival path to recapture its past glory.\u00a0\u201cWe are tired of supporting and endorsing others. This time we have our own, we do not want to remain afloat. We want our presence felt in 2022,\u201d Salat said. Buoyed by a deal the ruling Jubilee Party and Kanu signed on May 2, Gideon is regrouping with like-minded politicians as he seeks to succeed President Uhuru Kenyatta.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author:\u00a0Anyango Otieno\u00a0 AfricaPress-Kenya: Kanu has entered into a new working arrangement with People Democratic Party ahead of the 2022 General Election.
