Tuesday October 24, 2023 – Narck Kenya Leader Martha Karua has broken her silence regarding former Prime Minister Raila Odinga’s alleged endorsement of Wiper Leader Kalonzo Musyoka for President in 2027 instead of her after being his running mate in 2022.
Speaking yesterday, Karua stated that Raila’s endorsement of Kalonzo’s presidential bid is a nonissue and does not bother her at all.
She noted that it was within Raila’s discretion and democratic right to endorse any leader he wishes.
Karua was responding after she was asked about a recent endorsement where Raila was quoted endorsing Kalonzo’s 2027 presidential bid which the veteran Opposition leader has since denied.
“He wrote a statement of clarification, but even if he had endorsed [him], it would be within his right. An endorsement does not in any way curtail the chances of any other person who may wish to enter the race,” Karua stated.
There have been reports of a rift between the Karua and Raila factions in the Azimio coalition, with claims that the former Gichugu MP is not happy with the ongoing bipartisan talks.
Initially, Kioni was not part of the team, with Central Kenya leaders allied to the coalition noting that they had been left out.
He was later added to head the technical team supporting the Azimio team led by Kalonzo Musyoka.
