Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has said that he must approve for Azimio leaders to have a handshake with President William Ruto. He backed Nairobi governor Jonson Sakaja's sentiments on supporting a Handshake between Azimio leader Raila Odinga and Ruto but said they must seek his consent. Gachagua added that Raila must first accept Ruto as the president before any handshake. "Last week Raila said he does not recognise Ruto as the president but he must first pass through me and accept Ruto as the president," he said. On Monday, during a rally at Kamukunji gardens, Raila said they do not recognise Ruto as a validly elected president.
