Kipruto Arap Kirwa, the vice chairman of the United Democratic Alliance (UDA), has left the party and joined the Azimio Coalition.
Kirwa announced his resignation from the Deputy President William Ruto-led party to join Raila Odinga during a campaign rally in Sirisia Market in Bungoma County.
Odinga and his running mate Martha Karua officially welcomed him.
“I, Kipruto Arap Kirwa, have resigned as vice chairman of the United Democratic Alliance as of today, and I have resigned because I have seen how democracy will be suppressed if we allow the other side,” he said.
The former Agricultural Minister stated that he decided to join Odinga’s political bandwagon in order to ensure that he achieves the 50 percent support threshold, claiming that he believes the Azimio camp will win.
Kirwa revealed that Odinga’s announcement of Martha Karua as his running mate influenced his decision to leave UDA.
He went on to say that he had been thinking about his decision for the past week before making it.
Karua officially welcomed Kirwa, stating that the Azimio la Umoja political fold is led by a proven leader.
