The two started closing ranks on Boxing Day when Wamalwa joined Mudavadi for Maragoli Cultural Festival in Vihiga county and declared their support for Mudavadi's presidential candidature.

Rashid He urged the people of Western region to rally their support behind the Prime Minister Raila Odinga and stop playing politics of wishful thinking by being cheated with propaganda of tribal politics saying the region has not been able to produce a linchpin who can give direction.

He reiterated the Prime Minister's promise of a two-horse race in the campaigns for the general election and promised to give the two a run for their money in Western.
