Kenya Kwanza Alliance Leaders Accuse Uhuru of Trying to Impose Raila on Kenyans

Kenya Kwanza alliance principals William Ruto, Musalia Mudavadi, and Moses Wetang’ula have accused President Kenyatta of trying to extend his stay in power.

The three claim the president is out to impose ODM leader Raila Odinga, who is eyeing the presidency under the ‘Azimio La Umoja’ movement, on the people of Kenya.

“We will not allow you [Kenyatta] to succeed yourself, because the sovereign authority on succession lies with the people of Kenya,” said Wetang’ula.

“President Kenyatta will not generate any votes from the factory for Raila Odinga. The President has only one vote.’

Mudavadi likened Kenyatta’s support for Odinga to events that saw DR Congo President Felix Tshisekedi, an opposition candidate, trounce then Vice-President Martin Fayulu in the 2019 presidential election.

“Azimio’s riddle has been solved. We have now realized that the owner of Azimio is none other than Uhuru Kenyatta. He wants to be the overall Chairman and allow Raila, his puppet to take the presidency so that he can rule by proxy,” Mudavadi claimed.

On his part, Ruto warned President Kenyatta that attempts to influence the country’s succession politics would taint his image.

“Kenyans want to elect individuals who will take the country to the next level in terms of development. They are not interested in a puppet whose work will be to protect wealth belonging to few people,” said Ruto

Ruto, Mudavadi, and Wetang’ula were speaking at roadside rallies in Vihiga County on Sunday.
