Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka has revealed plans to strengthen the Azimio Coalition ahead of the 2027 campaigns.
The former Vice President, addressing his followers on Wednesday November 13, claimed that there is a need to consolidate the opposition in Kenya. According to Kalonzo, they will traverse the nation to bring together individuals and parties of the same ideologies, in order to form a strong opposition.
He further unveiled a plan to begin validating membership in the Azimio, as a step-forward meant to bolster the squad in the opposition.
“A time is coming when we will ask everybody to validate their membership in Azimio and expand. Others come, others leave,” the Azimio co-principal revealed.
Kalonzo’s sentiments come a few days after senior advisor in the Council of Economic Advisors (CEA), Moses Kuria, made the comments at a thanksgiving ceremony of Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) national chair Gladys Wanga, urging on the need to form and join a national movement that will take the entire country through a shocking political wave by 2027.
“What I can see is that in 2027, a new nationalist movement, same as the 2002 rainbow movement, is loading and those with brains should join because they are people who will weep from outside,” Kuria forecasted.
However, the debate revolving around Azimio’s lifespan continues to be the talk of the town following current unfolding events that has seen its co-principal Martha Karua of NARC-Kenya party vacate the union 3-months ago.
On the other hand, ODM leaders despite releasing 4-of its members to join the broad based government, has maintained denying claim that it had entered into an agreement with the ruling Kenya Kwanza government.
Led by party chairperson Gladys Wanga, ODM has kept insisting that ODM is still an opposition party.
“Let me make it clear that we have no coalition agreement with Kenya Kwanza. For you to merge, there must be an agreement, a memorandum saying who will do what.” She said
