Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga has dismissed claims that Azimio la Umoja was on the verge of disintegration.
Speaking in Lamu where he officiated the launch of various projects on Monday, January 22, Raila dispelled the reports as false and misleading to the country.
He also denied reports that Suna East Member of Parliament Junet Mohamed was on a chopping board.
“I want to dispel any rumour being spread by irresponsible media. There is no danger of Azimio collapsing any time soon,” he stated.
“Nobody has left Azimio except a few members of parliament who decided to take a walk but the leadership of Azimio is intact,” he added.
Raila remarked that Azimio members are allowed to hold different opinions but that does not amount to the coalition disintegration.
“There may be sometimes disagreements of opinions on one issue or one another but that does not mean disintegration,” Raila assured his supporters.
According to the former Prime Minister, Azimio is more focused on liberating the country.
His sentiments followed reports of a fallout in Azimio with a section of the media alleging that Junet Mohamed was among the leaders in the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) set to be axed.
However, Raila downplayed the reports assuring Azimio followers that the coalition has remained intact despite losing in the 2022 Presidential contest.
