"Uhuru was the leader of the opposition, Kibaki was one, Moi was also the leader of the opposition when he was in KADU. Even Raila has been one. Nobody can be President of Kenya without being the leader of the opposition," he said.

The Jubilee Vice-Chair further challenged Kenyans to brace themselves for two options; either DP Ruto or the ODM leader Raila Odinga.

Murathe maintained that they will continue rooting for the ODM leader's presidential bid because they believe is better placed to change the lives of Kenyans.

The Jubilee MP was one of the leaders who graced the 58th Jamuhuri day celebrations at Uhuru Gardens.

President Uhuru Kenyatta led the country in the celebrations. DP Ruto and  Raila were also present.
