Former Azimio presidential running mate Martha Karua has opposed proposed constitutional amendments by President William Ruto.
In a tweet on Sunday, December 11, the Narc Kenya party leader echoed LSK president Eric Theuri's remarks that the president was re-introducing 'BBI 2'.
"The attempt to reintroduce BBI 2 by President Ruto should be resisted and condemned by all Kenyans. The President is on a dazzling race to mutilate the Constitution even before the ink dries on the oath he took to defend it," Theuri tweeted on Saturday.
In a reaction to the remarks by the LSK president, Karua tweeted: "Spot on."
This comes after the Head of State on Friday, December 9, wrote to the speakers of both the National Assembly and the Senate notifying them of key proposed constitutional changes.

Among the proposed changes is the creation of the office of the official leader of the opposition, whose duties will be outlined in statutes passed by Parliament.
The head of State further proposed to amend the standing orders of parliament to enable Cabinet Secretaries to participate in parliament proceedings to react to questions raised by Parliament.
The proposal to create the office of the official leader of the opposition has been met with mixed reactions across the political divide.
The role was among the proposals that were contained in the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) document that was quashed by the Supreme Court.
Members of Parliament are currently on a two-month recess, meaning that the proposals by Ruto will be introduced for processing when the House resumes February next year unless a special sitting is convened.
