Moses Kuria's CCK Party in Talks with Kenya Kwanza Alliance to Form a Grand Coalition

Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria says his Chama Cha Kazi (CCK) party is in talks with the Kenya Kwanza alliance with the intent of forming a grand coalition ahead of the August 9th elections.

Kuria, who recently declared his bid for the Kiambu governor’s seat in the forthcoming elections, announced that CCK is among 21 political parties that are seeking to join forces with the Kenya Kwanza alliance.

“This is to inform Kenyans that Chama Cha Kazi Party and 21 other political parties are in early talks with the Kenya Kwanza Alliance that will lead to a very broad-based grand coalition that will deliver the nation to peace and prosperity. Details to follow,” Kuria said through Facebook on Friday.

The Kenya Kwanza alliance brings together Deputy President William Ruto-led UDA party, ANC of Musalia Mudavadi, and Ford-Kenya of Moses Wetang’ula.

The announcement comes days after Kuria ruled out the possibility of joining ODM leader Raila Odinga-led Azimio La Umoja coalition, citing ideological differences.

“…Hakuna siku mimi utanipata kwa Azimio. Ata nikikufa msinipeleke Azimio,” he said at the burial of former Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu’s mother Monica Njeri Waititu on Tuesday.
