As Raila Odinga launches his campaign for the African Union Commission Chairperson, Kalonzo Musyoka has taken a decisive step, declaring himself the official leader of the opposition. This move comes at a critical time when Odinga\u2019s growing alignment with President William Ruto has raised eyebrows within the Azimio Coalition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Addressing the press, Musyoka made it clear that Azimio remains united despite the internal tensions. “I am ready to lead the opposition with a renewed vigor. We may lack numbers in Parliament, but we have the people of Kenya on our side,” Musyoka asserted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With Odinga’s potential departure from the local political scene, Musyoka\u2019s allies are urging him to prepare for a presidential bid in 2027. The Wiper leader has remained steadfast in his opposition to the inclusion of Odinga’s allies in Ruto’s government, viewing it as a betrayal to the younger generation, particularly those who spearheaded anti-government protests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Musyoka\u2019s declaration as opposition leader signifies a pivotal moment for Azimio. As he positions himself as the torchbearer for the coalition\u2019s values, the political landscape in Kenya could be on the verge of a significant shift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the meantime, Odinga\u2019s focus has shifted to continental matters, promising to push for an African Union Visa if elected, a move that aims to facilitate seamless movement across the continent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
