Deputy President William Ruto has stated that anyone can be the presidential flagbearer after his new pact with ANC's Musalia Mudavadi and Ford Kenya's Moses Wetangula.
This comes after speculations of a looming crisis in the outfit over who was going to be the presidential candidate ahead of the August 9 general election.
Speaking on Wednesday in Nakuru County, DP Ruto said that the main focus of the outfit was about changing the economy of Kenya and uniting the country.
“Anyone in our alliance can be president, anyone in the alliance is capable of steering the team to State House…hatujakuja hapa kwa sababu ya ubinafsi, hatujakuja kwa sababu ya mamalaka…tumekuja pamoja ili tuokoe Kenya.
“Alice Wahome anaweza kuongoza Kenya, Rigathi Gachagua, Moses Wetangula, Musalia ama Hustler; wote wanaweza kuongoza Kenya. Ya muhumu si nani ataongoza mbali ni kuboresha maisha ya Wakenya," DP Ruto said.

He said that Kenyans had a right to decide their own future, " For those who are pitching a tent in hotels thinking that they will decide for us our future will be in for a rude shock."
Speaking at the same event, Mudavadi hit out at president Uhuru Kenyatta stating that Kenyans were disappointed in him.
He popularized his Uchumui bora economy arguing that it would directly impact the livelihoods of Kenyans.
"Azimio ni mradi wa serikali. Mwananchi hakuli barabara na airport. Mwananchi anataka ajira. Tusidanganyane! Na huo mradi wa serikali wa Azimio utakoma, huo mradi ni white elephant," Mudavadi stated.
