DP RUTO’S CLOSE ALLY DEFECTS TO AZIMIO

It is indeed a big blow to dp Ruto after his closest ally defected to Azimio la Umoja

Anthony Kibagendi, the Director of Youth Affairs in the Office of Deputy President William Ruto on Wednesday, February 23, joined the Azimio la Umoja movement.

Kibagendi accompanied the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party leader Raila Odinga to a meeting with leaders from the South Rift region.

It was during the meeting that the DP’s aide endorsed Raila and his Azimio coalition. Kisii Governor James Ongwae welcomed the youthful politician.

On Saturday, February 19, Kibagendi announced his resignation from the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) but indicated he would still stick with Ruto in the presidential campaign.

He had also promised to give reasons for his exit from UDA but at the time of publishing this story, he was yet to publically give an explanation for his abrupt move.

“Yes, I have resigned from UDA, I have not joined any Party or association, I will give my reasons tomorrow,” he stated.

Before his resignation, he was reported to have had a confrontation with South Mugirango MP Silvanus Osoro in a UDA Whatsapp group.
