Tujibebe Wakenya party leader William Kabogo has distanced himself and his party from the Kenya Kwanza Alliance led by Deputy President William Ruto.

Kabogo announced he is currently standing on his own during the Kiambu gubernatorial debate on Sunday.

“Things change, right now I am on my own and I am doing quite fine,” Kabogo said.

Kabogo also revealed he would be dealing with his own manifesto to improve the standards of living for residents of Kiambu county and will not promote any presidential candidate’s manifesto.

“I do not have a manifesto of any presidential candidate as we speak, I will be dealing with my manifesto which is just to improve the lives of the people of Kiambu and make it easy to survive,” Kabogo said.

Kabogo severed links with Kenya Kwanza following complaints that the UDA party was intimidating and sidelining his party.

He also claimed the agreement his party entered with the Kenya Kwanza Alliance was not binding, as it was not put down in writing.

Before bailing out, the former Kiambu Governor previously revealed he suspected Kenya Kwanza might go back on its initial arrangement when he attended its "Express Train to Kiambu" where a section of UDA leaders publicly denounced the coalition.

"When we were having the express train going to Kiambu, you heard them say on live TV that there is nothing called Kenya Kwanza. It was a marriage of convenience with a lot of honesty and bits of dishonesty," Kabogo said.


Kabogo also accused Kenya Kwanza’s presidential running mate Rigathi Gachagua of leading the team that disregards his Tujibebe party.

"DP Ruto's deputy designate is the one that leads this team. MPs come and say all these things while the deputy designate is on the same vehicle and he does not say anything,” he said.
