Martha Karua has denied claims of planning to exit Azimio, alongside Jubilee secretary Jeremiah Kioni.
Speaking during the unveiling of a new political formation, the Narc Kenyan party leader said that she is in Azimio to stay.
According to her, the caucus is only aimed at championing issues of Mt. Kenya.
“Right now, we are not talking about the race but about the unity of Mt Kenya people. Kalonzo Musyoka is our brother. We are in Azimio to stay but we still have Kamwene Caucus to champion Mt Kenya issues,” she said.
At the same time, she spoke on claims that Raila endorsed Kalonzo Musyoka, during a recent event in Nyanza.
“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.
In his statement, through his communication Director, Raila said that he only praised Kalonzo and claims that he had endorsed him were misleading.
Mr. Odinga therefore clarifies that his praise for H.E. Kalonzo Musyoka for standing with him in three successive elections, the Wiper leader’s strong Christian values and the support Mr. Musyoka has built across the country was not an endorsement of Mr. Musyoka as the Azimio presidential candidate in 2027. Rather, the praise was an acknowledgment and appreciation of past deeds that are in public domain,” his statement read in part.
