Cotu Secretary General Francis Atwoli now claims that the former Nominated MP Maina Kamanda warned Azimio against President William Ruto ahead of the August 9, 2022 polls.
Addressing the Madaraka Day celebrations on Monday, Atwoli appeared to praise Ruto for his mastery of politics saying his tactics caught them unaware.
""In Azimio we had everything...tulikuwa na Baba The 5th, tulikuwa na mawaziri wa vifua kubwa kama kina Matiang'i, lakini vile ulipita katikati ukashinda hatujui.

"And Maina Kamanda warned us. Alituambia hii Kijana ya Sugoi msipochungana na yeye atawashinda. Maina Kamanda alituonya , huyo kijana Mwehsimiwa Raia umtafute mkunywe chai na yeye," he said.
Atwoli at the same time asked the Azimio coalition to accept that Ruto had won the August election adding that it would be difficult to get him out of power.
He said it is time the opposition accept and move adding that the current administration is already wielding power that it cannot let go.
"Mimi ndio nilisema miti ikatwe Sugoi… nilikuwa kwa ndoto zangu tu… huyu kijana ameenda na kiti na ni lazima tukubali hio," he said.
