The Orange Democratic Party has detached itself from comments made by a section of Coast MPs endorsing Deputy President William Ruto for the 2022 presidential race.

In a statement the Party’s Secretary General, Edwin Sifuna, said: “The party is not at the moment concerned about who shall go for what position in 2022 and if such statements were made, they were their own personal opinions.”
