Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi, the former party leader of the moribund Amani National Congress (ANC), has put on hold his ambitions until 2032 when President William Ruto will be expected to endorse his presidential bid.

This is contained in a secret pact between him and the Head of State who has also signed the death certificate of the ten-year-old ANC  that sponsored seven MPs, 33 MCAs and one governor in the last general election.

Multiple sources within Ruto and Mudavadi circles intimated that the agreement by both leaders secured the Foreign Affairs CS position until 2027.
