Nairobi - Kileleshwa MCA Robert Alai has downplayed the significance of former president Uhuru Kenyatta and Narc Kenya leader Martha Karua to the Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Coalition Party.

Robert Alai praises Wiper and DAP-K

In a statement, Alai stated that ODM party, led by Raila Odinga, only finds value in the Wiper Party, led by Kalonzo Musyoka and the Democratic Alliance Party of Kenya(DAP-K), led by Eugene Wamalwa.

"ODM currently finds value in a coalition with Wiper and DAP-K. Others are donkeys we have to whip to make any impact," said Alai.

Without mentioning names, the city MCA said other parties in the opposition coalitions were only stressing the ODM party.

The Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Coalition Party coalition comprises ODM, Jubilee, Wiper, Narc Kenya, DAP-K, Roots Party, Usawa kwa Wote, and KANU.

"The others are stressing ODM with lots of funny rendezvous while in a real sense, they wasted our votes, handed over power to someone they want us to call enemy, but they call them "my President," he stated.

According to Alai, Raila's party is supposed to focus on rebuilding and preparing the party for the 2027 elections.

"ODM must focus on rebuilding, preparing the voter register and ensuring that we are ready for 2027 as soon as July 2024," he added.

Uhuru speaks about Jubilee Party wrangles

Earlier, former president Uhuru Kenyatta shared his views on the ongoing power struggle within his Jubilee party.

Speaking at his eldest son, Jomo Kenyatta's Karen residence on Friday, July 21, the former head of state said he was against a government-sponsored coup within the party.

The retired president added that he wouldn't hand over the party's reigns to a group of people because they have the backing of the current administration.

“My plan was always to surrender my party, but what I completely rejected was the coup that was planned by this government to take over my party forcefully. And I said let the members decide, but I will not hand over to some puppet group of people because they have government support, that is not democracy,” Uhuru said.
