"Do your rally and go! I will come to clean up after you have left. We are younger than you, but are wiser," he said.

The Lawmaker spoke during the official launch of the Linda Mwananchi Movement's party headquarters in Lavington, Nairobi.

He affirmed his support for the Party Leader, Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna, who is poised to run for president in 2027. He promised to stand by him and rallied leaders under the United Opposition to unite and field one candidate to face incumbent President William Ruto.

Meanwhile, the Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) Leader Rigathi Gachagua asked Sifuna's supporters, especially those from the Western Region, to rally behind him.

Gachagua claimed that COTU-K Secretary General Francis Atwoli planned to organise a meeting at Bukhungu Stadium to rally the community to support Ruto's re-election, and urged them to resist the charm offensive.

"I hear Atwoli has called a meeting at Bukhungu Stadium on December 20 so that he can deliver the people of Western to Kasongo. Wake up early and go to the stadium, but when he arrives, tell him that you are Sifuna," he said.

Earlier, the former Deputy President claimed that Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi sold the Amani National Congress (ANC) to President Ruto for Ksh20 million in a deal he personally negotiated.
