The meeting also featured 13 MCAs elected on a UDA party ticket. With the DEP joining Kenya Kwanza, all members of the Meru County Assembly are in support of Ruto.
In 2017, Jubilee won 13 seats and PNU also won 13 seats.
“We welcome the Devolution Empowerment Party (DEP) to Kenya Kwanza. Their resolve to work with us is an indication that leaders agree that the interests of Kenyans override our personal or party interests,” Ruto shared after the meeting.
Kiraitu previously supported the Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Alliance presidential candidate Raila Odinga.
The former governor failed to defend his seat, which was won by independent candidate Kawira Mwangaza.
