Mudavadi changes bio to 'Prime cabinet secretary' designate

Amani National Congress leader Musalia Mudavadi has changed his Twitter bio and included Prime Cabinet Secretary-designate of the Republic of Kenya.

This comes as Kenyans await the Supreme Court to deliver its verdict on the presidential petition on Monday, September 5, 2022.

On August 17, ANC nominated its party leader for appointment as the Prime Cabinet Secretary following William Ruto's win in the August 9, presidential election.

ANC council unanimously nominated Mudavadi for the position in a special meeting by the party's Council Bureau.

The new position is expected to be created by an Executive Order, if Ruto is sworn in as the country's fifth president.

The position of the Prime Cabinet Secretary was agreed upon by the founding party members of Kenya Kwanza alliance in an agreement signed by Ruto of UDA, Moses Wetang'ula of Ford Kenya and Mudavadi on behalf of the ANC party.

Mudavadi and Wetangula signed Kenya Kwanza Alliance agreement to deliver 70 per cent of the votes in their strongholds in Western Kenya.

In the agreement between the two parties and UDA, which was signed on April 5 and presented to the Registrar of Political Parties on May 8, UDA was to produce the presidential ticket for the Kenya Kwanza Alliance (KKA) while ANC was to nominate a candidate to be appointed as Prime Cabinet Secretary.

According to the agreement, the position of the Prime Cabinet Minister was to be created within 14 days if the alliance won the August 9 election.
