Saturday, February 26, 2022 – Wiper Party Leader Kalonzo Musyoka is edging closer to signing a pact with the Azimio La Umoja team led by President Uhuru Kenyatta and former Prime Minister Raila Odinga.
Addressing the press yesterday, Kalonzo revealed that OKA-affiliated parties had initiated open and structured dialogue with like-minded political formations, namely the Jubilee Coalition and the ODM Party.
However, he changed the name of the Azimio La Umoja Movement to a grand coalition to be known as the Azimio-One Kenya Alliance as his precondition for joining the outfit.
According to Kalonzo, OKA was open to the formation of a grand coalition to be known as Azimio-One Kenya Alliance or not at all.
He stated that the political parties allied to OKA (Wiper, Narc Kenya, UDP and KANU) had a thorough consultation amongst themselves and they decided that they will be seeking to move the country forward with the Jubilee Coalition and ODM Party.
He added that OKA was keen on forming a grand coalition with Uhuru and Raila’s teams under strict three pillars.
“The alliance shall be anchored on three equal pillars. As OKA we firmly believe in an open, honest and structured dialogue whose basis is a promotion of national unity, upholding and respecting the dignity of all Kenyans, ending the culture of graft and impunity, and restoring the decency of living within our borders,” Musyoka stated.
Musyoka further revealed that OKA will also be unveiling its presidential flagbearer.
Kalonzo’s last-minute changes led to the postponement of the Azimio La Umoja launch which was set for today.
