Speaking in
Embu County on Sunday, UDA leaders led by Nandi County Senator, Samson Cherargei, asked
the ODM leader to choose between the African Union Commission's chairmanship
and the Presidency in 2027.
Cherargei said the opposition leader should allow the Kenya
Kwanza administration to find another person for the AU position if he still
wants to run in the 2027 polls.
"There is no way one can be campaigning for the
presidency and at the same time for an AU seat; it's either one and if our
brother needs the presidency to compete with William Ruto, he should also tell
us we are ready," Cherargei said.
On his part, Mbeere North MP Geoffrey Ruku claimed the
former prime minister was campaigning for two seats, arguing that this might
jeopardise the efforts of those looking for his AU seat.
Ruku said the government is working tirelessly and investing heavily in Raila's candidacy.
Thus, he should not show any actions that depict
his energy as not being in the AU bid.
