In August, ODM leader Raila odinga launched the Azimio la Umoja drive in Nakuru where he called for the unity of Kenyans ahead of the 2022 general elections.

During the launch, Odinga said Azimio La Umoja’ will address the problems afflicting Kenyans, by bringing all Kenyans, regardless of where one comes from or age with their leaders and their problems onto one table and embark on a systematic and transparent search for solutions, as equal stakeholders.

“The journey we start today is intended to create the political and ideological unity that we require to confront the problems afflicting our people,” he said.

Adding that, “We need to build a nation where leaders exist to serve people and not lord over them. A nation where meritocracy shall replace mediocrity and nepotism, a country with Zero tolerance to corruption.”

He also outlined other aspects that need to be worked for Kenya to have a fully functional government working for its people.

The former Premier has continued to spread the Azimio la Umoja across the country as he drums up for support in his quest to succeed President Uhuru Kenyatta in 2022.
