Devolution Empowerment Party (DEP-Bus party) Secretary General Mugambi Imanyara has distanced himself from the party's decision to decamp from President William Ruto's Kenya Kwanza coalition.

Mr Imanyara has urged President Ruto to take stock of his waning support in Meru after the DEP, whose party leader is former Meru Governor Kiraitu Murungi and former Agriculture CS Mithika Linturi, left the ruling coalition.
