As the news broke of Azimio La Umoja One Kenya enlisting a few backup members to their dialogue team, there was a stir in the political circles.
People wondered what the strategy was and what this could mean for the future of Kenyan politics.
One of the most interesting names on the list was that of Jeremiah Kioni, the embattled Jubilee Secretary General.
Kioni had been in the headlines for all the wrong reasons recently, and his inclusion in the Azimio team raised a few eyebrows.
But it seemed like Kalonzo Musyoka, Azimio’s lead negotiator, had seen something in Kioni that others had missed.
Mwangi Wa Iria, the Usawa Party Leader, was another intriguing addition to the backup team.
Known for his unwavering support of the people of Murang’a, Wa Iria had become a voice of reason in the political landscape, and it was no surprise that he was called upon to lend his support to Azimio’s cause.
Roots Party Leader George Wajackoyah and lawyer Adams Oloo completed the list of alternate members, and it was clear that Musyoka had put together a formidable team of negotiators.
As the first session with the ruling Kenya Kwanza Coalition began, all eyes were on Azimio’s team. They had a lot to prove, and the pressure was on.
But as the negotiations progressed, it became clear that Musyoka and his team were not to be underestimated. They were articulate, well-prepared, and unafraid to stand their ground.
It was still too early to tell what the outcome of these negotiations would be, but one thing was for sure that Azimio La Umoja One Kenya had a strong team behind them, and they were not to be trifled with.
