Retrace steps and ditch DP, Aseka urges
ANC leader
Khwisero MP Christopher Aseka (below) has asked Amani National Congress leader Musalia Mudavadi to reconsider his decision to join forces with Deputy President William Ruto.
Speaking yesterday, Aseka said the move could cost Mudavadi much politically and likened it to the case in 2002 when he declined to join Narc and instead supported the “Uhuru Project”.
The then Vice-President lost even his Sabatia parliamentary seat after he declined to team up with, among others, Mwai Kibaki, Michael Wamalwa and Raila Odinga.
Yet another blunder
“I respect my elder brother Mudavadi but I fear he has made yet another blunder that may ruin his political ambitions for good,” the MP said.
“Joining forces with Ruto is very detrimental to his political future. I urge him to rescind his decision and join forces with Raila Odinga,” he added.
Speaking at Emalindi in his constituency when he inspected development initiatives, Aseka said he decamped from ANC to Azimio la Umoja due to pressure from the constituents.
He said he could easily sell the presidential candidacies of Mudavadi and Raila in Khwisero, but not Ruto’s.
He termed his former party boss as a visionary. “Politics is about interests. I would not want to lose my seat just because I joined the so-called ‘Kenya Kwanza Alliance’,” said Aseka.
The legislator is seeking to end a one-term jinx in his constituency.
