Raila Odinga, leader of the Azimio alliance, vehemently refuted recent claims suggesting an imminent collapse of the political coalition. Speaking in Lamu County on January 22, Odinga dismissed reports in local dailies as false and unfortunate. The alleged rift included internal struggles within Odinga’s Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), particularly regarding Suna East MP Junet Mohammed.
Odinga, a former Prime Minister, emphasized that Azimio remains solid, post-2022 general election, despite a few Members of Parliament aligning with President William Ruto. Expressing surprise at the headlines, he asserted there were no significant disputes within the coalition. Odinga urged the Kenyan media to refrain from spreading irresponsible rumors, emphasizing the stability and continuity of Azimio.
This public denial underscores Odinga’s commitment to maintaining unity within the alliance and dispelling speculations that could potentially harm its cohesion. As the political landscape continues to evolve, Odinga’s words serve as a call for responsible reporting and an insistence on the enduring strength of the Azimio alliance.
