Amani National Congress (ANC) party leader Musalia Mudavadi has dispelled claims that President Uhuru Kenyatta endorsed him for the top seat during the burial of his mother Hannah Atsianzale on January 9.
He said the President only sparked a conversation that it may be time for leaders from other communities to lead the country.
“Uhuru has not endorsed me. He is a person who will never impose a leader on the people,” he stated.
Mudavadi noted that he will be contesting for the presidency in 2022 and will be seeking the votes of Mt Kenya region.
“When the time comes, I will come back to ask for your support. For now, we should be discussing how to revive the economy,” he said.
“There is nothing wrong with what the President said. If you have a good manifesto and qualities of a leader, Kenyans will elect you their president no matter your tribe.”
Speaking on Kameme FM- a leading Kikuyu radio station- on Wednesday morning, Mudavadi made a passionate appeal to Mt Kenya region to rally behind the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI).
