Cord principal Kalonzo Musyoka says he expects his coalition partners in the opposition to support his presidential bid in the next General Election.
In a candid interview with the Sunday Nation at his Karen home in Nairobi, Mr Musyoka said he had shelved his presidential bids in the past in favour of other politicians, and it should only follow that ODM leader Raila Odinga and his Ford-Kenya counterpart Moses Wetangula return the gesture in 2017.
There is no doubt that I am ready to go for the Presidency, absolutely no doubt. I was ready in 2002 and ran in 2007. In 2013 I put the interest of the country above myself and supported Raila, he said.
Claiming he had demonstrated selflessness over the years and challenging his co-principals to return the favour are likely to trigger serious debate within the Cord family.
