The Deputy President was attending the Safina party's NDC at the Bomas of Kenya.

The Safina party has welcomed Deputy President William Ruto’s UDA party to form the next government if it wins the presidency in the upcoming August polls.

Speaking during the party’s National Delegates Conference (NDC) on Monday, Safina party leader Paul Mwite said that UDA’s vision is aligned with that of Safina.

“Why Safina is aligned economically, socially with UDA is because the vision UDA has for this country is identical to Safina’s vision,” Paul Mwite stated at the Bomas of Kenya.

However, in the incident UDA wins the presidency, Mwite asked the Deputy President to invite the Safina party in forming the next administration.

“On behalf of the party, I want to say in the presence of DP William Ruto that when Safina wins the presidency, we will invite you and UDA to come and we form the government together,"

"And if you win, please invite us to form the government.” Mwite told the DP who was attending the Safina NDC.

The Safina party endorsed businessman Jimi Wanjigi as the party’s presidential flag bearer in the August General Election.

Wanjigi defected from the Raila Odinga led ODM party after he decried violence during the party’s NDC that was held at Kasarani on February 26.
