Former Budalangi Member of Parliament, Ababu Namwamba on Friday wished his newly found political ally, President Uhuru Kenyatta the best in the ongoing Presidential petition, something that has caused an uproar among Kenyans on Twitter.

In his message, the former ODM Secretary General said that Kenyatta was the real President having been voted for by the majority of Kenyans.

Namwamba has been said to be gunning for a state appointment hence his support for the the President’s re-election bid.

He lost his parliamentary seat after decamping from Raila Odinga’s ODM and forming his Labour Party.

he should speak in his individual capacity. the electorates of budalangi rejected him as the kenyans did send @UKenyatta home
