Azimio MPs want Uhuru locked out of anti-Ruto rallies claiming his involvement in the party is adding no value
Azimio MPs want Uhuru locked out of anti-Ruto rallies claiming his involvement in the party is adding no value.
Speaking after a Parliamentary sitting on Wednesday, February 15, the MPs outlined reasons why they were convinced that the former Head of State added no value to the party.
They urged their leader Raila Odinga to prevent him from attending his national rallies, implying that the opposition would be damaged by their prolonged affiliation.
Saboti MP Caleb Amisi revealed that he had spoken to Raila and even had conversations with other leaders about how they would handle the removal of Uhuru.
“If anything, he will reduce the gain Raila has made in all these years. The presence of Uhuru in our rallies is continuously destroying our image as opposition because people may think he is the one who is sponsoring the rallies,” he stated.
Amisi further explained that Uhuru had led to false accusations about the party and even tainted Azimio’s image.
“Raila’s rallies are not sponsored but his image shows they are being sponsored,” he added.

Kitui Central MP Makali Mulu, on the other hand, called on Uhuru Kenyatta to proceed to retirement arguing that he had failed to help the opposition ascend to power while he was still the Head of State.
“If he was not able to bring his stronghold together while he was a sitting President, would his involvement in politics after retirement have any serious impact on Azimio as a coalition? If I were him, I would just opt to retire,’ he explained.
Speaking in Luanda, Vihiga County, shortly after attending the burial of former Education Cabinet Secretary Prof. George Magoha in Siaya County, on February 11, Uhuru reiterated that his support was for Raila.
He maintained that despite retiring from active politics, he was still very much energized and would not depart from the political arena anytime soon.
