Wednesday, May 25, 2022 –Kenya Kwanza team has been forced to call off their rallies which were supposed to start in Busia County from Thursday.
Details reaching Homenews.co.ke desk indicate that the William Ruto-led KK coalition has since postponed the event till further notice.
The reason for the calling off the political function, according to coordinator Mary Emase, is due to the fact that Azimio la Umoja brigade is still pitching camp in Western Region and from tomorrow they will be holding rallies a few kilometers from where Ruto was to land.
“We cannot hold that rally because they want to interfere with our programmes, that amounts to disturbance. They knew very well that our rally was in Simba Chai and they went ahead to organize theirs in Amukura which is very close,” she stated.
Ruto was scheduled to have a series of rallies and meetings at Angurai in Teso North from Thursday May 26 where he was also to have a sit down meetings with his troops from the grassroots.
Emase added that there is likelihood of rescheduling the whole tour so that to make it a success when it’s once done sometimes later on.
Ruto will be accompanied by his fellow leaders in Kenya Kwanza among them Bungoma Senator Moses Wetang’ula and ANC Party leader Musalia Mudavadi.
On the other side, Odinga who is having a five-day tour around Western Region kicked off his visit of Vihiga County on Wednesday May 25. In his company was Kakamega Governor Wycliffe Oparanya, Suna East MP Junet Mohamed among other leaders.
