Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua was among the officials of 8 parties that on Wednesday warned they will quit the Azimio One Kenya Alliance if their grievances are not listened to.
The Governor and his group which christened itself as the Mwanzo Mpya caucus lamented over being sidelined in the making of Key party decisions and being forced to sign coalition documents yet they have not seen it.
Appearing on Citizen Tv on Thursday Morning, Governor Mutua did not rule out the possibility of Kenya Kwanza led by deputy president William Ruto in the event things don't change in the Azimio One Kenya Alliance.
He went on to reveal he found a missed phone call from Deputy President William Ruto on Thursday morning.

He claimed he has been receiving calls from Ruto allies and said he will be forced to move in the other direction if they are not respected.
"We still have time. There is the option of joining Kenya Kwanza. I saw a missed call this morning from DP Ruto. His people have been calling me for weeks. It is not that we are lost for options. What we want is to be treated with respect because we are doing this for Raila Odinga. We will not agree to be tricked," Mutua said.
On Wednesday, key officials of the 8 parties raised concerns over the lack of inclusivity and consultations in making key decisions in the coalition.
Among the issues raised by the group is the feeling that the Azimio leadership is made up of three parties including Jubilee, ODM and Wiper leaving out other members who the group say founded the coalition.
The group has also lamented over being sidelined in the making of the coalition document, so much so that they have not seen the document yet they are being pushed to sign.
"Coalitions agreement documents have not been shown to us and yet they are insisting that we should sign. We will not agree to this," Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua who read their joint statement said.
The group also expressed reservation on alleged planned zoning saying they will not be a party to it.
The eight parties that Mutua said raised the grievances include MCC, Muungano, Kenya Reform Party, CCU, DAP-K, PPT, NARC, and Maendeleo Democratic Party.
