The deputy president of that party has already been promised to the mountain region.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd if Kalonzo was to leave and join Raila Odinga\u2019s Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), what is he going to settle for? The speaker of the National Assembly or the Speaker of the senate? Maalim posed.<\/p>\n<p>He proceeded to state that OKA leaders had put in a lot to get to where they are right now, and that if they leave, they will have no relevance in politics.<\/p>\n<p>Maalim stated that the only thing OKA has to do to remain politically relevant as they now are, is to remain in OKA.<\/p>\n<p>He further mentioned that should Mudavadi and Kalonzo make this move, they will have to start from scratch since they will have to wait for everyone else in those parties to accomplish their political goals before they start working on their own.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWho is going to leave their comfort where they made a lot both for the moment and the future, and go somewhere else to queue at the back?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy would they go to become mtu wa mkono wa Raila ama mtu wa mkono wa Ruto?(A helping hand to Raila and Ruto)<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Mudavadi and Kalonzo cannot leave OKA because there\u2019s nothing in these other parties that is going to build them politically. The point is that OKA has no chance in politics outside OKA,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/kenya\">Kenya<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Kenya.
