Deputy President William Ruto has said that Amani National Congress (ANC) leader Musalia Mudavadi and his Ford Kenya counterpart Moses Wetang’ula are the only Luhya leaders he can work with and form the next government.

Ruto said other leaders from the region who are supporting Azimio La Umoja, which is being spearheaded by ODM leader Raila Odinga, are political brokers who want to auction the community to the highest bidder.
