Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka has been selected to replace Azimio leader Raila Odinga.
According to a statement that was read by Jubilee Secretary General Jeremiah Kioni,the decision was arrived upon because of Raila’s busy with his campaigns for the African Union chairmanship.
“We want to thank our leader Raila Odinga who has led our Coalition successfully since its formation. We know his quest for AUC leadership will enter a critical stage starting next week and we wish him luck as he prepares to take on the continental duties,” the statement read.
The coalition further acknowledged the role that Kalonzo has been playing during Raila’s absence.
“Kalonzo Musyoka has continued to lead us while Raila has been out seeking the leadership of the African Union and we continue to ask him to guide us as a coalition. We have resolved he continues leading us even as we allow Raila to continue with AUC campaigns,” Azimio said.
The coalition further noted that members from ODM who joined the new cabinet did so on individually because the coalition decline to engage in dialogue with president William Ruto.
