The Azimio La Umoja One Kenya Coalition Party has announced a major shake-up within its leadership structures.
The decision follows a joint meeting of the coalition’s top leadership bodies, which reviewed the status of members who have taken up government roles or aligned themselves with other political formations.
In a statement on Monday, March 9, Azimio leader Kalonzo Musyoka explained that the decision was reached during a joint session of the coalition’s Council and National Coalition Executive Council.
“The Azimio La Umoja One Kenya Coalition Party today held a Joint Meeting of the Coalition Council and the National Coalition Executive Council and resolved that the following persons have, by virtue of their appointment to public office and/or having joined competing political coalitions, ceased to be members of the Azimio Coalition Council and the Azimio National Coalition Executive Council,” the statement read.
According to Kalonzo, those removed from the Azimio Coalition Council include Mining Cabinet Secretary Hassan Joho, Nominated MP Sabina Chege, Abdi Noor Omar Farah and Suna East MP Junet Mohamed.
