Survival Of Azimio One Kenya Pact Will Depend On The Goodwill Of The President – Says Kalonzo

Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka has revealed that the Azimio-One Kenya coalition of parties hadn’t considered who would be its presidential seeker.

He says when the coalition is registered as a political party and wins the August 9 presidential election, its survival will depend on the goodwill of the chairman in terms of honouring the coalition pact.

This, he said in response to a question on the safeguards of the new deal considering what happed to his earlier Scowl with Raila Odinga.

Kalonzo was speaking two days after further than 20 parties inked an agreement to join the Azimio One Kenya, and blazoned Raila Odinga as its presidential seeker.

In an exclusive interview with KTN News this morning at his Tseikuru home, Kalonzo said they will have the handling mate conversations latterly.

“We did not discuss those things. We have not discussed who is fit to be the running mate. What is in it for me does not matter. The question is what is in it for Kenyans. Yes, some of us are that selfless. The running mate discussion will be held later,” he told KTN News.

“The discussions of who is the running mate or not does matter at this point. Let us first secure the state,” he added.

In his defence, the formerVice-president also dismissed reports that there was a six-hour talk between him and Odinga before subscribing the agreement.

The long addresses were attributed to the late appearance of President Uhuru Kenyatta, Raila Odinga and Kalonzo Musyoka at the KICC.

“There were no six-hour talks as portrayed out there. I was the one who was kept waiting for Raila who showed up past noon and we (the three) went to KICC. I heard Raila was coming with people so I asked Gideon to come. We had been waiting for them. There is nothing like six hours talks,” Kalonzo said.

Kalonzo also bared that utmost of his political abettors at the One Kenya Alliance (OKA) failed to show up for the signing at KICC on Saturday as a result of legal oddities.

“Things were mixed up. I am sure all those secretaries-general, none knows what we signed. Azimio will be registered as a coalition of political parties. So the confusion came in when Junet proposed Raila to become ‘Azimio la Umoja’ candidate. We had agreed on Azimio-One Kenya,” he said.
