Tuesday July 30, 2024 – Azimio One Kenya Alliance is just as good as dead after Raila Odinga’s betrayal following his move to join President William Ruto’s Government.
This is after The Party of National Unity (PNU) also hinted at leaving Azimio after NARC Kenya.
Speaking yesterday, PNU leader Peter Munya disclosed that the party's leadership will convene next Thursday to decide the fate of the party in the coalition.
He claimed that if the ODM party, which is part of the coalition, had joined the Government, then those who wanted to be in the Opposition would have to separate.
"Next Thursday, there will be a PNU NEC meeting where we will decide our stand as a party regarding our relationship with the Azimio coalition because ODM party has joined the Government. And if they have joined the Government, they can't be in Government and also in Opposition.
"If Azimio has become part of the Government, those of us who want to be in Opposition have to separate ourselves so that we can continue to defend the citizens of Kenya," Munya remarked.
The former Agriculture CS also noted that according to the Constitution, there must be people in Government and people in Opposition.
"You can't be in Government and in opposition at the same time. So with a lot of respect to our partners in Azimio, we wish them well in government but they must make a decision to move completely into government or stay in opposition," he added.
His remarks come after NARC Kenya leader, Martha Karua, announced her exit from Azimio last week for the same reasons.
