Saturday, March 12, 2022 –Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka joined Raila Odinga’s Azimio la Umoja because of public demand. It has been established.
Addressing their supporters during the Azimio function in Nairobi County today Saturday March 12, Mr. Kalonzo stated that he reached the conclusion after listening to the ground well.

“Na kwa mara ya tatu na sema Raila Tosha (for the third time, I have agreed to back Raila),” stated Kalonzo.
Addressing masses of people at Jacaranda Ground today Saturday, the Wiper Party boss also revealed he had to consider the age factor between him and Mr. Odinga.
“Kusema kweli, mimi nilikuwa tayari kabisa, na nadhani bado niko tayari. Lakini tunaangalia umri (To be honest I was ready and I still think I am read. However, we looked at the age factor).
“Ndugu Raila tumetoka mbali, tumekula teargas. Tulianza LDP, alafu ODM Kenya, NARC, CORD hadi NASA… Kwa roho safi, Raila Amollo Odinga tosha!
“Today we have formed a grand coalition named Azimio-One Kenya and we have three key pillars; Jubilee’s pillar, OKA pillar and ODM’s pillar,” he added.
On his part, President Uhuru Kenyatta thanked Mr. Musyoka for making that bold decision and acknowledged his selflessness for the sake of this nation.
“Kalonzo has decided to set aside his own ambitions because of our country, Kenya, please let us acknowledge him for that because that is bravery. We thank him very much,” the president stated.
Taking to the podium, Mr. Odinga thanked the Wiper Party leader for shelving his 2022 ambitions so that to join forces with the rest of the country in deciding the next leadership of this nation.
“I want to pay gratitude to all of you who are here today, who have made a decision to nominate me as your candidate in the coming election. I accept the nomination by Azimio La Umoja to vie for the President of the Republic of Kenya in the August 2022 elections,” Raila addressed.
He also assured Kenyans that he will make sure he delivers on every promise he had made for this nation saying he will rely on everyone’s contribution to make sure no one is left behind during his leadership.
