Uhuru Chairs Inaugural Azimio La Umoja-One Kenya Council Meeting
President Kenyatta on Thursday chaired the inaugural Azimio La Umoja-One Kenya coalition party council meeting at Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC).
The coalition political party, which comprises 26 parties, was officially registered last week and President Kenyatta gazetted as the Chairman of its national executive council.
The KICC meeting was attended by the coalition party’s presidential flagbearer Raila Odinga, who is also a member of the council.
Other council members present included Kalonzo Musyoka, Martha Karua, Charity Ngilu, Gideon Moi, Hassan Joho, Naomi Shaban, Wafula Wamunyinyi, Sabina Chege, Abdi Noor Omar Farah and Junet Mohamed, who is the council’s secretary-general.
Addressing the press after the meeting, Junet said the council agreed to form an advisory committee that will help in identifying the most suitable presidential running mate for Odinga.
"The council has recommended the formation of an advisory panel that will recommend to presidential candidate suitable candidates for nominations as deputy presidential candidates," said Junet.
The meeting also resolved to create new structures in the coalition party including a Coalition Elections Board, Coalition Elections Appeals Board, National Disciplinary Committee, and Dispute Resolution Panel.
“We have directed the National Coalition Executive Committee to immediately prepare a campaign strategy that will ensure that the Azimio La Umoja-One Kenya presidential candidate wins the 2022 presidential election, and that the coalition forms the next government," Junet added.

How many Kenyans drink alcohol on daily basis? Don’t be jealous if you can’t afford one or two for the road. In addition, does Uhuru drink your mother’s alcohol? Shenzi wewe mwenda wazimu.

Bbi was the brainchild of Raila but was eventually hijacked by Uhuru when he realized he could use it to stay in power. Now that the SC has ended its course, they are hoping to win through crooks so that they can revive it. One thing is for sure; that in the unlikely event that Baba wins, he will throw Uhuru under the bus as soon as he is inaugurated. How else will he he want to share power that he believes has been robbed away at every election?
Uhuru in his defense will marshal his party majority troops to impeach Raila. The Deputy president who’s is Uhurus choice in this election takes over. And rest will be history.
Has anyone wondered why Uhuru brought in many small parties into Azimio and insisted to be party chairman? A retiring president offering to be patron of an opposition party?
These are the kind of thinking calculus in Uhurus little circle. They think they are planning their leadership succession by playing around with Kenyans!
Mr.. Kenyans are too smart for this kind of little thinking. Think big by planning to retire peacefully.

Raila would have accepted Kalonzo back as running mate. He also had his choice of Kenneth or Karua. But Uhuru won’t let that happen. He chooses Sabina into the DP position choking Babas selection. That’s a project who will agree to do the tricks and play for Uhuru.
While this is about tribal leadership dominance, a lot is more about billions of triple inflated government tenders and tax evasion for his business and his associates.
