Musalia Mudavadi, the former Deputy Prime Minister, has indicated his intention to return to the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party ahead of the 2017 elections.
Mudavadi met with Raila Odinga, the leader of the Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (CORD), at a function in Nairobi, where he encouraged residents of Western Kenya to register as voters.
"I am coming back home, but before I reach, please ensure that everybody is a registered voter in the lake side. Hii kazi tunataka kumaliza mapema", Mudavadi said.
A top aide to Raila Odinga posted on Facebook, quoting Mudavadi: Omwami Musalia Mudavadi accompanied Jakom Raila Odinga. He was very clear that he’s coming back home and urged folks to ‘help him’ support Jakom by readying their voting arsenals
A local newspaper, allegedly controlled by Jubilee officials, quoted Mudavadi as saying he would again run for the top seat, denying any plans to support Odinga.
The meeting between Mudavadi and Odinga reportedly took place at the Rubicat Hotel in Nairobi.
