He became a member of Musalia&#8217;s ANC party before decamping to the Deputy President-allied United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party. He has plans of running for Westlands MP on a UDA ticket.\n<\/p>\n<p>Four hours later, that single tweet had almost 300 comments as Kenyans took wild guesses at what the tweet meant for Musalia\u2019s political future.\n<\/p>\n<p>Others, even went ahead to poke holes at his intent. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo joining William Ruto aka Arap mshamba was the earthquake you were talking about,\u201d Oremo Fred commented.\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCan you tell us what you want to, stop taking us round the bushes\u2026 tell us what you fear doing,\u201d another online user, Jane Kyallo added.\n<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, the tweet has attracted a lot of responses and reactions from Ruto\u2019s UDA-allied politicians who clapped at the statement.\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMusalia Mudavadi&#8217;s Central thesis in today&#8217;s speech will be a robust rebuke of the politics of &#8220;deceit, conmanship and chicanery&#8221; controversial lawyer Ahmednasir\u00a0 Abdullahi responded to the same tweet three hours later.\n<\/p>\n<p>The presence of lawyers in full regalia also suggested the possibility of some deal being signed. <\/p>\n<p>Shortly after, lawmakers allied to the DP, Aisha Jumwa (Malindi) Irungu Kang&#8217;ata (Muranga), Benjamin Washiali (Mumias East), Victor\u00a0 Munyaka (Machakos Town), Didmus Barasa (Kimilili) have also attended\u00a0Mudavadi&#8217;s presidential launch at Bomas of Kenya\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.standardmedia.co.ke\/politics\/article\/2001435284\/anc-uda-alliance-what-was-cooking-at-bomas\">Source: The Standard Media Kenya<\/a> <a \"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ANC leader Musalia Mudavadi and Secretary-General Cleophas Malala during preparations of the conference at Bomas of Kenya.
