Dr Ruto said the deal is a culmination of lengthy talks between Kenya Kwanza Alliance and the DP party over the past couple of weeks. 

"I am a proud Kenyan that we are today joined by a party that has a history in the Republic of Kenya. A party that has had a footprint in the transformation journey of the country having been led at one time by former President Mwai Kibaki," the DP said.
