Karua’s tour comes at a time when there are jitters within the Azimio Nairobi camp over zoning.
The Coalition announced it had adopted a rationalisation plan that compels constituent parties to harmonise candidates to tame increased sibling rivalries.
However, those targeted have refused to step aside as they claim Azimio la Umoja presidential candidate has not told them directly to drop their ambitions.
