Africa-Press – Kenya. The Wiper Democratic Movement and the Democratic Action Party – Kenya (DAP-K), on Monday, hinted at ditching Azimio to create a coalition before the end of next year.
Speaking in Kitale at the homestead of former Vice President Kijana Wamalwa, Kalonzo, who is the party leader of the Wiper and Eugene Wamalwa who heads DAP-K, revealed they have initiated the legal process of exiting the Azimio La Umoja One Kenya Coalition
The two party leaders hinted that plans were underway to form a coalition to field a presidential candidate in the 2027 General Election.
In a press briefing, they indicated that Kalonzo might be the leader of the new coalition once it is registered.
“If we come up with a new outfit, it could even incorporate perhaps Azimio itself, so that is how focused we are,” Kalonzo stated.
“I urge the media not to bury Azimio before it is actually dead and buried because we have a lot of investment in that space and we want to be able to move in a manner which is systematic.”
The two have maintained they want to get the country on the right track and have good leadership and asked the principals of Azimio to support them in their quest to deal with the challenges facing Kenyans.
“All we can tell Kenyans is watch this space. We have a few days to the new year and there are new things that are coming,” Wamalwa intimated.
On his part, the former Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu rooted for Kalonzo to lead the coalition. “We want to tell people of Kitale that we will be in that coalition that will be led by Kalonzo Musyoka come 2027,” he stated.
“I believe this is the team that will save Kenya from corruption and corrupt individuals and from President Ruto and his punitive tax measures,” Wamalwa added.
They alluded to the prosperous times during the reign of former president Mwai Kibaki and his vice president Kijana Wamalwa as a model they would adopt to improve the livelihoods of the people of Kenya.
The trio noted Kenyans are agitated by abductions, high taxation regime, and economic hardships which the current regime has failed to address. They have however insisted to continue playing the role of opposition in keeping the government accountable in matters affecting Kenyans.
This came even as Martha Karua, a principal in the Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Coalition, exited the coalition in July.
