Cracks Emerge in Azimio as 8 Parties Issue Fresh Demands

Tension is brewing in Azimio La Umoja-One Kenya Alliance after eight parties threatened to walk out if their demands are not met. 

In a statement signed by 8 parties and read by Governor Alfred Mutua, the parties issued ultimatums to Raila Odinga and President Uhuru Kenyatta. 

Among the key issues raised by the parties is a lack of consultation in the decision-making processes within the coalition. 

"The document needs to be renegotiated to ensure that all interests are taken care of. The agreement should not be decided by three parties In the same way that they have introduced zoning through some technical terms, we want them to be done away with," Mutua stated. 

The parties listed their demands as follows; 

1. We should be the fourth leg caucus.

2. We must renegotiate the document.

3. We cannot have zoning.

4. The deposited document has to be withdrawn.

5. There has to be a consensus on all decisions.

6. There has to be a consensus on all nominations.

7. The Deputy President choice must be through consensus just as we agreed on the presidential candidate

8. The positions which we agreed in at K.I.C.C must be honoured.

9. If we are not listened to we have options.

The statement was signed by eight parties 1. MCC, Muungano, Kenya Reform Party, CCU, DAP-K, PPT, NARC and Maendeleo Democratic Party.
