Just a day after Deputy President William Ruto claimed that, Ababu Namwamba, who recently denounced his post at Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), would join the ruling coalition – Jubilee party, the Budalangi MP strongly refuted the claims.
Namwamba said that there is no partnership deal at the table that offers him a chance to jon Deputy Presidents’ side.
“We are flattered by the reported desire of the DP to have us in Jubilee. But no, thanks. We are not available,” he said, adding: “…for the avoidance of doubt, there is no deal by myself or any member of the team involved in this initiative to join the Jubilee Party.”
“No one should salivate and covet the political opportunities created by our actions and resignation from ODM positions.
If anyone expects to reap from the decisions my colleagues and I have taken, they are mistaken. Although a girl has no control over the roaming eyes of any boy that may have designs on her, sadly for any suitors out there, Jubilee or CORD, this girl is simply not available!” Ababu said.
“This is about self-determination. The very thought of the western region consolidating its political strength and reaching out to other parts of the country to build a formidable alliance is terrifying to those who have traditionally targeted the House of Mulembe as their hunting ground,” he said.
