"We are not seeking for the governor's seat again on an independent ticket. We will contest for the seat through our own political party," he announced.
"We have already completed the plans for our political party. The party is already registered and has membership in 35 counties. We have over 35 counties. We have not launched the party because that is a requirement."
Additionally, he detailed that they were pushing for Mwangaza to be named as the party leader of the party.
"If she accepts, within the next one week, she will make an announcement and tell us which way to go," he added.
Mwangaza lost her seat as Meru Governor after the High Court threw out a petition that was challenging the impeachment.
Following the ruling, Isaac Mutuma was sworn in as the new county boss on Monday, March 17.
