Muranga Senator Irungu Kangata seems to have changed tune over hard stance that Deputy President William Ruto must pick a running mate from Mount Kenya in the August 9, polls.

Kangata, while responding to journalists during the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) Party National Delegates Conference said their main agenda now is to

“Our main agenda is to address the issues affecting mwananchi, issues of bodaboda, mama mboga, poor farmers. It is nolonger about who gets what,” he added.

Kangata’s sentiments come barely two days after he claimed in another media interview, that Ruto’s running mate must come from Mount Kenya.
