RAILA ODINGA TO JOIN ONE KENYA ALLIANCE

Amani National Congress (ANC) leader Musalia Mudavadi has hinted at bringing on board ODM leader Raila Odinga in crafting a new political alliance for next year’s elections.

Mudavadi yesterday said One Kenya Alliance was open to working with the former premier, bringing a new twist to President Uhuru Kenyatta’s succession battle amid claims of a scheme by State machinery to isolate Raila.

He also disclosed that the four principals in the new formation have agreed to go out and bring more political figures in creating a bigger alliance for the next battle.

The emerging alliance brings together Mudavadi, Wiper’s Kalonzo Musyoka, Kanu boss Gideon Moi and Ford Kenya leader Moses Wetang’ula, and is said to have the blessings of the president.

Mudavadi cautioned that the new formation will not entertain personality discussions, but talks around how to address national issues affecting the common mwananchi.
