Atwoli decamped to Ruto's side and has since then sang the president's tune.

Central Organisation of Trade Unions (COTU) secretary general Francis Atwoli shared a platform with Azimio La Umoja leader Raila Odinga.

The two are gracing the send-off of COTU chair Rajab Mwondi in Vihiga county.

This would be their first meeting in public after Atwoli ditched Azimio for the President William Ruto-led Kenya Kwanza in December last year.
