- Provisional results showed Azimio presidential candidate Raila Odinga had garnered 71.78 and 74.49 in Kilifi and Machakos respectively.
- Reports indicated that Mutua would deputise ANC party leader, Musalia Mudavadi should Kenya Kwanza form the next government.
Kilifi Governor Amoson Kingi and his Machakos counterpart Alfred Mutua fell short of delivering their respective regions to Deputy President William Ruto, provisional results on Thursday at noon showed.
Results showed Azimio presidential candidate Raila Odinga had garnered 71.78 and 74.49 per cent of the ballots counted so far in Kilifi and Machakos respectively.
In Kilifi, Raila had garnered 184,083 votes while Ruto had 69,139 votes of the ballots counted.
In Machakos, Raila had 249,507 votes while Ruto had garnered 82,189 votes.
Mutua exited Azimio la Umoja-One Kenya Coalition party on May 9 and joined the Ruto-led Kenya Kwanza.
Mutua said his party Maendeleo Chap Chap had signed an agreement with the alliance.
Mutua said Azimio had become a club of a few without any transparency.
"Unlike in Azimio, we have a copy of what we signed last night," Mutua said.
Mutua revealed that a position had been set aside for him and slots reserved for his Maendeleo Chap Chap party.
Reports indicated that Mutua would deputize Amani National Congress party leader Musalia Mudavadi should Kenya Kwanza form the next government. The reports said Mutua had been promised the post of Deputy Chief Minister.
Kingi on the other hand ditched Azimio La Umoja on May 10 to join the Deputy President’s side.
The Pamoja Africa Alliance party leader said he walked away from the Raila-led Azimio One Kenya coalition due to what he described as a "lack of honesty in the running of its affairs."
"We have just walked away from dishonesty, mitrust, and political deceit, we hope we don't find it here. We hope trust and honesty will be the glue that holds this alliance," stated Kingi.
Kingi said he was not keen to get any position in government and just wanted to be part of the journey to get ‘haki’ (justice) for the people.
