Speaking after getting endorsement from members of New Democrats Party, Thirdway Alliance party leader Ekuru Aukot said: “We are happy with the progress. We hope to reach the one million mark in the next one month. Kenyans have embraced the initiative and we are receiving signatures from diverse groups of people regardless of their political affiliation”.
