possible crossover to the DP’s team ahead of the coming polls.

friendship and willingness to work with Dr. Ruto.
He reiterated that the second in command is a force to reckon with in the greater rift-valley, terming him currently unbeatable in the region.

beat him in Rift Valley,” he said.
He further stated that he will soon be overseeing series of
meetings with a number of leaders in the political quarters in the future.
Among the leaders he is set to meet soon include; President
Uhuru Kenyatta, Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka and the Amani National
Congress party leader Musalia Mudavadi.
“I will be meeting the Wiper leader very soon. I also want to
meet the President and leaders of other parties, among them Musalia Mudavadi
and Moses Wetang’ula, to discuss the same,” he opined.
