AfricaPress-Kenya:<\/strong> ANC leader Musalia Mudavadi has dismissed as fake news one of the stories in today\u2019s dailies indicating that he and his Ford Kenya counterpart Moses Wetang\u2019ula will back Deputy President William Ruto 2022 presidential bid.<\/p>\n

Mudavadi in his official twitter handle hit out at Daily Nation which carried the reports for pushing his political detractors\u2019 agenda.\u00a0He said it was unprofessional for the publication to distort the reality to push his political enemies\u2019 narrative.<\/p>\n

\u201cIs this what you call professional journalism? Your headline is a distortion of reality. Whose narrative are you pushing? Fake News!,\u201d he tweeted on Saturday.Mudavadi allies have dismissed the alliance talks saying they are sponsored Mudavadi haters.<\/p>\n

Led by Lurambi MP Titus Khamala, they claim the alliance talk is aimed at driving a wedge between the ANC party leader and President Uhuru Kenyatta.\u201cWe as ANC, we support Uhuru\u2019s agenda for this country. We know haters don\u2019t like Mudavadi-Uhuru relationship and they want to separate them,\u201d he said.Khamala said as ANC their presidential candidate for 2022 remains Mudavadi, therefore, the party cannot enter into an alliance that states otherwise.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur candidate for 2022 remains Mudavadi, forget about other rumours and propaganda our enemies are spreading,\u201d he added.The trio is said to have been in talks over a possible political alliance ahead of the 2022 election which culminated into the formation of technical to thrash out a roadmap for a union which will see either Mudavadi or Wetang\u2019ula becomes Ruto\u2019s running mate.<\/p>\n

It was reported that aides of the trio held a meeting at DP Ruto\u2019s Karen home on June 12 and created a technical team to flesh out details of the deal.The meeting brought Jubilee (those from Western allied to the DP), ANC and Ford Kenya together.DP Ruto allies led by Mumias East MP Benjamin Washiali and\u00a0his Kimilili counterpart Didmus Barasa are said to have attended the closed-door meeting.<\/p>\n

The technical team appointed will prepare a report to be submitted to the principals on the way forward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
