William Ruto Is My 2022 Presidential Candidate – Aden Duale

Date:

Former National Assembly majority leader Aden Duale said he will back Deputy President William Ruto come 2022.

“Uhuru, Ruto, and Raila are the only politicians I have fully understood their political philosophy. I am a political student of the three combined. I am not a Ruto ally by accident,” he told the Standard.

“It is because of political history. I know what Ruto is capable of achieving. He believes in the oneness of Kenya. Just like Uhuru, Ruto has taught us the politics of tolerance. ”

“I want to state categorically that my choice for presidential candidate come 2022 is William Ruto.”

Duale also stated he has regretted dissolving URP to merge with TNA.

URP and TNA merged to form the Jubilee party ahead of the 2013/2017 elections in which President Uhuru and DP William Ruto won the elections.

Speaking to the Standard on Sunday the Garissa Township MP said Jubilee has not lived towards its ideas.

“We collapsed 14 parties to form Jubilee. We wanted to kill ethnic-based parties. I had misgivings about dissolving URP,” Duale said.

“Uhuru and Ruto convinced me. The party grew and managed to have elected leaders. But today, it is a shell. I regret the decision to collapse parties.”

According to Duale if President Kenyatta fails to salvage Jubilee, the 2022 scenarios in Kanu will be witnessed.

“There will be a mass exodus by leaders who will form a new outfit. I urge the president to rescue it. He can leave a legacy of leading the largest united, cohesive party,” he said.

He said the relationship between the President and his deputy began deteriorating in 2018-2020.

“… and I was caught in between. I learned how to deal with it. I never contradicted the president, not even his deputy. There is nothing I ever did without first consulting the president,” he said.

Duale was ousted from the National Majority leadership position after the Jubilee PG meeting that was held at the KICC a few months ago.

He was then replaced by Kipiriri MP Amos Kimunya.

Speaking about his removal Aden Duale said he was glad that he was able to process the agenda of the Majority Party effective during his tenure as the Majority leader.
