Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua has dismissed claims doing rounds across various media platforms he will vie for Mwala parliamentary seat in the August election.


A section of the media announced Mutua was eyeing the Mwala parliamentary seat in the August election after his term as Machakos Governor elapses.

Mutual took to his social media accounts to set the record straight that he will not vie for any elective position in the forthcoming election.

"For avoidance of doubt, I wish to clarify that at this particular time, I am not running for any elective position in the forthcoming elections," Mutua wrote.

Mutua said he is currently focused on campaigning for the Kenya Kwanza Alliance, which he recently joined after ditching the Azimio la Umoja One Kenya coalition over claims of an unconscionable contract.

"I am concentrating on campaigning for the Kenya Kwanza coalition so that Kenya can get a new system where dreams can come true," he said.

Mutua's Maendeleo Chap Chap party signed an agreement with the Kenya Kwanza Alliance on the night of May 8, 2022.


Mutua negotiated for a cabinet secretary slot in an infrastructure or public utilities related ministry if Ruto wins the August election.

However, Mutua will first need to deliver 35 per cent of the presidential votes to Ruto from Machakos, Makueni and Kitui counties.
