Uhuru, Ruto and their allies continue to contradict each other in public especially on the handshake and the war against corruption. Ichung'wa, a key member of Ruto’s Tanga Tanga movement, said he will not subscribe to the new TNA party, saying the proponents are pursuing for “selfish deeds". At the same time, Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro said those advocating for TNA party risked losing their seats in Parliament if they continued to advocate interests of a competing political party. He added, “ We folded smaller ethnic parties to form a big ideological-based political party and it would be tragic to go back to the past.”
