<\/div>Deputy President William Ruto (L) and ANC Party Leader Musalia Mudavadi. <\/strong>[Courtesy]\n<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n The United Democratic Alliance (UDA) says reports on a power sharing deal between Deputy President William Ruto, ANC Party Leader Musalia Mudavadi and Ford-Kenya\u2019s Moses Wetang\u2019ula are speculative.\n<\/p>\n The Standard<\/em> had earlier obtained exclusive information that DP Ruto will run for presidency in the August 9 polls, supported by Musalia Mudavadi, who will bag the chief minister\u2019s position should Ruto win the presidential election. <\/p>\n Sources, who spoke to The Saturday Standard<\/em>, said Ruto and Mudavadi also agreed that the DP has the freedom to select his deputy.\n<\/p>\n The reported covenant also has it that Mudavadi\u2019s ANC will field gubernatorial candidates in Nairobi, Kakamega and Vihiga, and that UDA or Ford-Kenya won\u2019t produce governor candidates in those counties.<\/p>\n However, UDA will front a name for Nairobi Deputy Governor seat, and aspirants in the city\u2019s Senate and Woman Representative contests. ANC and Ford-Kenya, which have a work-together deal with UDA, won\u2019t field candidates in the two top city seats.\n<\/p>\n Ruto\u2019s UDA would also produce the coalition\u2019s sole candidate in the Trans Nzoia senatorial election.\n<\/p>\n Mudavadi\u2019s ANC, on the other hand, will suggest names for the Finance and Devolution Cabinet Secretary positions in Ruto\u2019s government. <\/p>\n ANC will also get one more ministry, and other government appointments, the same number as Ford-Kenya.\n<\/p>\n Moses Wetang\u2019ula\u2019s Ford-Kenya, as per the reported agreement, would be allocated two Cabinet Secretary positions in Ruto\u2019s government.\n<\/p>\n Wetang\u2019ula would also get a free pass for the Bungoma Senate seat nomination. Ford-Kenya would also pick gubernatorial candidates in Bungoma and Trans Nzoia counties. Neither UDA nor ANC, as the per the agreement, will be allowed to field candidates for governor in the two counties.\n<\/p>\n UDA now says the reported covenant details are \u201cspeculative and based on journalistic assumptions\u201d.\n<\/p>\n \u201cThe details of the cooperation between UDA, ANC and Ford Kenya, and any other political party, if at all, will be formally unveiled by the principals at an appropriate time,\u201d said the Party\u2019s Secretary-General Veronica Maina in a statement dated Saturday, January 29. <\/p>\n Maina says the co-principals\u2019 main goal is to economically empower Kenyans, and \u201cnot to share positions of power at the expense of what is important to the common mwananchi\u201d.\n<\/p>\n The three parties entered a work-together pact on Sunday, January 23, when Mudavadi and Wetang\u2019ula revealed that they were joining forces with Ruto\u2019s UDA ahead of the August 9 General Election.\n<\/p>\n Ruto, in his address at the Bomas of Kenya last Sunday, said the three parties entered into a coalition, and therefore, their covenant details will be submitted to the Office of the Registrar of Political Parties, and subsequently made public.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Source: The Standard Media Kenya<\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Deputy President William Ruto (L) and ANC Party Leader Musalia Mudavadi.
