Nine political parties have formally joined the Deputy President William Ruto-led Kenya Kwanza Alliance to support one presidential candidate.
Speaking on Tuesday, April 12, when the parties signed the coalition agreement, the DP said that the alliance was of the free and willing.
"The alliance we put together today is the alliance of the free and willing, the other side have the alliance of the intimidated, blackmailed and coerced," Ruto remarked.
On his part, Amani National Congress (ANC) leader Musalia Mudavadi said that the alliance was a willing horse.
"We are here because we are unveiling a willing horse," he stated.
His Ford Kenya counterpart, Moses Wetangula, reiterated the ANC leader's sentiments saying that Kenya Kwanza was a coalition of the willing.
National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi, who formally joined the coalition a few days ago, asked the parties in the outfit to stick with the agreement they signed.
"It is a document designed to take this country to the next level. Please let us all in one accord stand by this alliance so that we will be distinguished as indeed backing a horse," the Democratic Party leader stated.
The parties in Kenya Kwanza include the Ruto's United Democratic Alliance (UDA), Mudavadi's Amani National Congress (ANC), Wetangula's Ford Kenya, Muturi's Democratic Party (DP) and Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria's Chama Cha Kazi Party (CCK).
Others are the Tujibebe Wakenya Party, Umoja na Maendeleo party, Economic and Freedom Party, Devolution Party of Kenya, the Service Party, the Communist Party of Kenya and the Farmers Party.
