One Kenya Alliance Teams Up with ODM and Jubilee to Form a Mega Coalition

One Kenya Alliance (OKA) has resolved to join hands with Azimio La Umoja ahead of the August 9th general elections.

In a joint statement, OKA principals Kalonzo Musyoka (Wiper), Gideon Moi (Kanu) and Cyrus Jirongo (UDP) announced they have decided to join ODM and Jubilee party in forming a mega coalition dubbed Azimio-One Kenya Alliance.

“The One Kenya Alliance wishes to inform Kenyans that it has officially initiated open and structured dialogue with like-minded political formations, namely the Jubilee and the ODM Party,” OKA said in a statement read by Musyoka.

“We are open to the formation of a Grand Coalition to be known as the Azimio-One Kenya Alliance that shall be anchored on three equal pillars.”

Musyoka, Moi, and Jirongo say they decided to work with Azimio since ODM and Jubilee resonate with OKA’s political ideologies and plans for the country.

“As OKA, we firmly believe in an open, honest, and structured dialogue whose basis is the promotion of national unity; upholding and respecting the dignity of all Kenyans; ending the culture of corruption and impunity, and restoring the decency of living within our borders,” added Musyoka.

The grand coalition, Musyoka said, will be unveiled on February 28th when official documentation would be signed and presented to the Registrar of Political Parties.

The announcement comes after ODM and the Jubilee parties nominated Raila Odinga as their preferred presidential flagbearer under the Azimio la Umoja coalition that will be officially launched on Saturday at Kasarani Stadium.

ODM and Jubilee have already signed coalition agreements with more than 15 political parties.
