Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 35859, member: 636"] Kiraitu Murungi says his Devolution Empowerment Party stands alone and has no ties to the Kenya Kwanza coalition. The former Meru Governor made it clear his Bus Party remains free to make independent political choices. He stated they never signed any pre-election or post-election agreements with other political groups. Party leaders deny having any formal deals registered with the Registrar of Political Parties. Former Embu Senator Lenny Kivuti claims their party has been left out since the last election. The announcement comes days after former Agriculture Secretary Mithika Linturi joined ex-Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua's team. The Bus Party plans to run a candidate in the upcoming Mbeere North special election. This follows MP Geoffrey Ruku becoming the Public Service Cabinet Secretary. Kenya Kwanza faces challenges keeping support in the Mt. Kenya region after the Democratic Party also recently left the coalition. [/QUOTE]
