Ahmednasir has been critical of the former Prime Minister disparaging him on his social media handles even as he appears friendly to Ruto.
The Lawyer, who has acted for Ruto in some cases, is expected that he will join Ruto despite having said he is neutral.

The NDC will culminate in a joint session with the ODM where the ODM leader Raila Odinga will be endorsed for the presidency.
Jubilee had announced that it will not field a presidential candidate in the August 9, polls.
