He said the "earthquake" was an announcement to Kenyans that he had foreseen a different platform upon which the elections would be played as voters were tired and needed relief from an overbearing State where deceit was the guiding philosophy.
"Earthquake was a clarion call to pivotal courage and disruption of the bondage by the masterminds of political deception and deceit. Remember at this time we were herded in the political outfits like cattle in the Athi River slaughterhouse - not moving anywhere except to the gallows," he said.
Mudavadi reiterated that his erstwhile political friends had underestimated his ability to see through the illusory maze they had created; an illusion of a mega-diverse coalition but actually composed of parties owned by the State.
"They never thought I could see through this deceit. They assumed I would rush thankfully into their political gallows. It is interesting that even as I spoke openly about a change of tact; even when the earthquake began at Bomas, most of the erstwhile political friends were in denial or chose the easier route of dismissing the tremor under their very feet," he said.
The former ANC leader said his arrival at the NDC had caused tension in One Kenya Alliance (OKA).
"Upon my arrival, some of the OKA leadership scurried away in fear. The first disruption of the tremor - scatter them - had occurred at that second, my symbolic endorsement of Ruto wasn't expected. It was received with disbelief, denial and then confusion," he said.
"The formation of the Kenya Kwanza Alliance was cleverly calculated to ambush. They didn't see it coming that soon; it was unheralded. And worse, the unveiling of an "all-Kenya" campaign programme of issues economic, devoid of the usual ethnic razzmatazz, blind-sided them and they never recovered," said Mudavadi.
The real earthquake, the Prime Cabinet Secretary said is that he worked with Ruto, they won and have formed government.
"More fundamentally, the earthquake was a learning process; we have reshaped the politics of Kenya forever. Ethnicity and money may in future count for nothing unless you have an agenda to sell. Demography will also play a crucial role in electoral politics given the youth bulge and their sensitivity to issues that concern them - unemployment, investment and technology," said Mudavadi.
