Tutashinda Hao Wakora, Uhuru Says as He Unveils Azimio-One Kenya Alliance

Tutashinda Hao Wakora, Uhuru Says as He Unveils Azimio-One Kenya Alliance

President Kenyatta says the new Azimio-One Kenya Alliance coalition will field a joint presidential candidate in the forthcoming elections.

Kenyatta made the announcement during the Jubilee Party National Delegates Convention (NDC) held at Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) on Saturday.

The president exuded confidence that the mega coalition will win the August 9th election and form the next government.

ODM leader Raila Odinga, and One Kenya Alliance (OKA) principals Kalonzo Musyoka (Wiper), Gideon Moi (KANU), and Cyrus Jirongo were among leaders who attended the meeting.

“We are unveiling Azimio-One Kenya Alliance and we will defeat them. Do you support me to work with these elders to fight those wakora?” Kenyatta posed.

Kenyatta also told off Deputy President William Ruto for questioning his decision to work with opposition leaders led by Raila.

"I heard one person saying that there is nowhere in the world where a government unites with and supports the opposition. I want to tell them that Kenya will be the example, we are mature enough to distinguish between politics and the needs of the people,” said Uhuru.

The Azimio-One Kenya Alliance coalition is expected to face Kenya Kwanza Alliance that brings together Ruto, ANC leader Musalia Mudavadi and Ford-Kenya leader Moses Wetang’ula.

    These coalition REMINDS me of the Godfather movie.
    THE BIG FAMILIES TAKING ON THE SMALLER FAMILIES.
    All of these LEADERS have played a role in running the KENYAN government coffers dry, this will be a continuation of the same old CRAP.
    Like, in my earlier comment, the scenario will be this, RAILA/,running mate, KIKUYU, RUTO/ running mate KIKUYU, then the kingpins will continue EATING.
    How can UHURU call RUTO a thief??
    How can a whore call out another??
    LET'S BE REAL, ALL OF THEM ARE MEMBERS OF THE SAME" HYENAS ELITE CLUB ".
    When the MASSES are busy fighting for table scraps, the HYENAS are enjoying MARGARITAS together.
    WAKENYA TUAMKENI JAMENI.

    Kenyans have to understand that Ruto thrives under chaos and does not know another better way to lead a country! He is a man of chest thumping and arrogance. Ruto can’t be a president of kenya.

  6. OtienoFeb 26, 2022

    He will be president. We better get used to it.

  7. CindyFeb 26, 2022

    I’d rather have a president who is not trying to please everyone hence destroying our country. I wasn’t sure about Ruto but the more Uhuru publicly shames him the more he makes many people like him. Uhuru is a failure and therefore not in any position to tell us who to vote for. We need a president who is feared and delivers rather than everyone’s darling who keeps barking and never bites. Hes is so disrespected that no one follows his orders which he never follows up anyway. I don’t care what they say about Ruto but we need to end this dynasty!!!

    Just a rookie state of thinking. Your mind is warped. Indy! No one can help you. Does your husband abuse you? You sound like a product of that lineage!

  9. ImkgoogoFeb 27, 2022

    And RAO, UK, and Gideon cannot be president either. Its MK, MK, MM and Weta to fight it out.

  10. GuestFeb 26, 2022

    Only truth statement one thief calling out another.However now this alliance is composed of more than one tribe instead of Arap mashamba and his den of thieves from the mountain maybe they just might get to statehouse

    @ Collusion, @ Go Crypto @ Alista:

    Ningependa ninyi nyote watatu mumwuuliZe Ndugu Samoei Arap Ruto juu ya janga lililofanyika katika kanisa la Kiambaa huko Eldoret halafu mkishapata majibu kutoka kwa mshabiki wenu, mtuambie.

    Nimeuliza swali hili mara nyingi, lakini mpaka sasa, sijapata majibu yake.
    Msisahau ya kwamba: Watoto, wazee, na akina mama walifanywa "nyama choma" na mpaka sasa, hakuna mtu hata mmoja wa wahusika ambaye ameshikwa na kupelekwa mahakamani kama ipasavyo.

  12. MugīkūyūFeb 26, 2022

    @Imara, asante sana ndugu! Hawa watu watatu wameshawishiwa kufanya kazi na wezi. Sijui ni pesa kiasi gani wamepatiwa na huyo tapeli.

  13. Mr. CollisionFeb 26, 2022

    @ Mugikuyu…I will speak for myself. Mimi ni maskini na hakuna mtu amenipatia pesa lakini we’ll see what Ruto’s presidency brings. He has promised us a lot in maai mahiu but only time will tell

  14. Mr. CollisionFeb 26, 2022

    Imara…kinda sorta agrees with you. However, if it can’t be proven in a court of law….any opinion after courts have decided what they decided is biased. Remember Trayvon Martin in USA in Florida? Who doesn’t know that George Zimmerman killed this guy….only white supremacists. But wait….it couldn’t be proven in a court of law. Let’s leave Americans na mashida zao tuongee za hapa kwetu. Yes people died senselessly in Kiambaa but all politicians were to blame especially Raila. Why did he incite mon violence? Then his tumtu tudogo incited their people and then that heinous crime was done by thugs. Point is: only God’s kingdom will save us: not Ruto, not Raila, not Uhuru but only God’s kingdom through Jesus Christ. May I say to you what solomon said

    Ecclesiastes 8:9-10
    9 I saw all this when I thought about the things that are done in this world, a world where some people have power and others have to suffer under them. 10 Yes, I have seen the wicked buried and in their graves, but on the way back from the cemetery people praise them in the very city where they did their evil. It is useless.

    My understanding in short is one group attacked another and kept running to hide in church until the victims got fed up and retaliated and set the building on fire. Women and children suffered as victims of a war that wasn't theirs.
    Some guys were arrested but acquitted by court. Do I think Ruto was pro violence.
    Absolutely not. No Raila no peace chant and stolen election triggered violence and obviously old unfair Jomo land issues of 60s.
    How about Moi Biwot angle 92 97. I would say yes to keep power. He had power to start and end violence any time.
    Thats my opinion. Current generations are not likely to go to war due to less suspicion and old guard having rested.

    Wacha Mtu wa sugoi akajinyoroshe huko Sugoi. Wajinga waliisha Kenya hii.

    @ Mugikuyu

    Kumbe hata wewe ni bingwa wa lugha ya Kiswahili! Hongera sana Ndugu.

  18. MugīkūyūFeb 27, 2022

    @ Imara Haha asante sana. Ninafanyia Kiswahili changu kazi. In Gīkūyū tunasema "Mageria nomo mahota" Kuongea Kiswahili sanifu sio rahisi lakini itabidi nijaribu tu. Your writings have been helpful and motivating.

  19. Imara DaimaFeb 28, 2022

    "Mageria nomo mahota." Msemo wa kweli na pia mzuri sana wenye mafundisho mengi sana kutoka kwa ndugu na dada zangu wa asili ya Gikuyu na Mumbi.

    All these tired old men need to retire & move on with their lives.

    All of you complaining about all those leaders being corrupt thieves are being hypocritical. Corruption and stealing is in our DNA. I am doing doubles wiping ass in a nursing home because I do not have access to corrupt deals in Kenya. Elect me an MP in my home constituency and I swear I will be a millionaire in 3 months.

  22. NyabokeFeb 28, 2022

    Poor you dude! Joint UDAku and start stealing. You have no pride if your you sweat! Mama never taught right or wrong. No wonder you are so confused! When are going going to mature! And you have have no shame saying stealing is in the DNA of Kenyans? Really!
