Today’s news puts to rest rumours that the alliance between TNA and URP was slowly unraveling. It also throws the spanner into the works of a possible pre-election agreement between URP and Raila Odinga’s ODM.
The deal signed on Tuesday morning will be deposited with the Registrar of Political Parties before the deadline on December 4.
An Uhuru and Ruto combo changes the dimensions of the race to succeed Mwai Kibaki at State House since it will naturally force the other contenders like Raila, Kalonzo Musyoka and Musalia Mudavadi to re-examine their own options.
Sources in the two parties say that Uhuru and Ruto plan to unveil their pre-election agreement at Nakuru’s Afraha stadium on Sunday. The rally will start at 2 p.m.
