Martha Karua Denies Ditching OKA After Deal with Jubilee and ODM

Martha Karua Denies Ditching OKA After Deal with Jubilee and ODM

Narc-Kenya leader Martha Karua has dismissed reports that she has quit One Kenya Alliance (OKA) following its deal with Azimio La Umoja.

OKA principals Kalonzo Musyoka (Wiper), Gideon Moi (Kanu), and Cyrus Jirongo (UDP) on Friday announced they will team up with Jubilee Party and ODM to form a grand coalition ahead of this year’s elections.

Karua, who is part of OKA, was absent during the media briefing and also missed Saturday’s National Delegates Conventions (NDC) for Jubilee and ODM.

Her absence from the two events attended by her OKA co-principals raised eyebrows, with social media reports suggesting that she had quit OKA. But through Twitter on Sunday, Karua dismissed a quote attributed to her, saying it was fake.

“If One Kenya Alliance (OKA) joins Azimio, then count me out. That was not part of the deal we signed as OKA principals,” the fake quote reads.

Kalonzo downplayed Karua’s absence from the events, saying she was attending to an important matter.

On Saturday, President Kenyatta announced that the new Azimio-One Kenya Alliance coalition will field a joint presidential candidate in the forthcoming elections.

Kenyatta, who spoke during the Jubilee Party National Delegates Convention (NDC) held at Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC), exuded confidence that the mega coalition will win the August 9th election and form the next government.

The Azimio-OKA coalition brings together several parties and leaders and will face off Deputy President William Ruto-led Kenya Kwanza Alliance in the August 9th elections.

    Every man and woman for himself and gods for us all is the Martha Karua policy. She cares less about Kenyans! It is all about what is in it for her. Karua and Moses Kuria are known fence sitters.

    Karua can leave OKA if Kenyans care! These are just old renegades slowing destroying our country. She should find something else to do because politics isn’t her cup of tea.

    Instead of feel mamaa, kuja UDA. Looks like you are having identity crises juu kaa sasa unakana then uko no call no show… hii inaonyesha a bit of confusion. Ingia kwa our oiled machine that’s ready to sail UDA ndio tumalize hii stori. Ama namna gani wananchi wa mwakilishi?
