The COTU secretary-general was backing Azimio presidential candidates Raila Odinga and Martha Karua. 

"... who told him he's going to be President? Befriending Ruto is not the key to Presidency. He has ashamed the Luhyas by allowing Ruto to fund his NDC," Atwoli said in a tweet before. 

The former ANC leader also hit out at Atwoli with regard to his leadership at COTU. 

“COTU will not be a clownish cowboy club that labours for a few individuals. Under my watch, the labour movement is going to regain its sense of purpose and respectability as the middle house between employers and their employees” Mudavadi said.
