Amani National Congress (ANC) Party Leader Musalia Mudavadi is working on a new strategy to position himself as a national leader as he prepares to provide stiff competition to other presidential aspirants in the upcoming 2022 general elections.
Reports indicate that Mudavadi is forging possible coalitions with influential politicians who will further extend the party's reach within the grassroots region.
Among the politicians include Uasin Gishu billionaire and politician Bundotich Buzeki and Narok Senator Ledama Ole Kina.
Buzeki, an influential billionaire, is among the most sought-after politician by many who acknowledge his influence within the Rift valley region.
He recently had a fallout with Chama Cha Mapinduzi party leader Isaac Rutto after the latter joined forces with Deputy President William Ruto.
A well-known critic of Ruto, Buzeki has been at the forefront of castigating Ruto's plans and political supremacy.
Kakamega Senator Cleophas Malala confirmed that the party seeks to shed off the tag that ANC is a Western Kenya political party.
"We have been receiving criticism from other parties that ANC is a Luhya party and we want to debunk that myth," he stated.
He claimed that the party was revamping its tactics by planning a national recruitment drive in all the 47 counties.
"If we want Musalia Mudavadi to ascend to power, we must delocalise the party and turn it into a national party," Malala stated.
Mudavadi, in a recent interview, said he would prioritise curbing graft and bad governance if he was to be elected president.
The party leader noted that leaders ought to be subjected to scrutiny before they are appointed or elected to take up public positions.
"Corruption and mismanagement of public funds have compounded the dire situation we are in as a country. We need to come together, unite as Kenyans and work as servants to the people and not their master," Mudavadi said.
