‘We will work hard to realise the dream of a free and inclusive Kenya through the Kenya Kwanza alliance,” he explained.
The Devolution Empowerment Party (DEP) boss who was the incumbent Meru governor lost to Kawira Mwangaza – an independent candidate.
Additionally, the former governor maintained that he would stick with President-elect William Ruto even if the Supreme Court overturned his victory.
He expressed that Ruto would carry the day if elections were held again.
“DEP will stand with you (Ruto) regardless of the outcome of that case because ultimately what is important for us in our party is that you have an effective grassroots campaign that captured the aspirations of many Kenyans, especially Mt Kenya.
“We have listened to our people and it is their wish that we partner with you as our president,” he stated.
Kiraitu defected to Kenya Kwanza on September 2 and joins other Azimio principals who have joined Ruto’s team.
These leaders include former Makueni governor Kivutha Kibwana, United Democratic Movement (UDM) leader and Mandera Senator-elect Ali Roba and Ugenya MP-elect David Ochieng.
