Edwin Sifuna, the Secretary-General of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), has hinted at leaving the country if Dr William Ruto wins the August 9 presidential election.

Speaking in an interview, Sifuna claims that the second in command is a dangerous person to be a president citing the way he speaks in a bitter and furious manner.

"The deputy president speaks with anger and pain. He may be a very dangerous leader should he win the State House race. I will look for a country abroad to hide from him," said Sifuna

"This is a person with a lot of bitterness. you hear him throwing words at us and even calling his boss lazy that when he conducted three meetings he is always still asleep," said the ODM Secretary-General.

Edwin Sifuna has also distance and defended his fellow Azimio la Umoja leaders on the recording that surfaced recently illustrating how DP Ruto wanted to slap Uhuru.

"He chased away news reporters from the meeting so can't say that we're the ones that produced the recording because weren't there, I assure you if he is elected I'll look for a foreign country to flee and hide," said Edwin.
