United Democratic Alliance (UDA) leaders led by Secretary General Cleophas Malala have asked ODM leader Raila Odinga not to expect a handshake between him and President William Ruto.

Speaking in Kisumu during a UDA membership recruitment drive on Saturday, Malala said they are aware of a scheme by the ODM leader to force a handshake between himself and Ruto through his (Raila's) threats to lead a mass action against the Kenya Kwanza administration.
