Wamalwa Announces Plan to Reorganize Azimio Leadership

DAP-K leader Eugene Wamalwa has announced plans to reorganize top leadership in Azimio La Umoja.

Speaking during a Citizen TV interview on Tuesday, April 16, Wamalwa pointed out that Azimio leaders are currently deliberating on who will take over the leadership mantle if Raila Odinga wins the African Union Commission (AUC) chairperson post.

Wamalwa who served as Defence Cabinet Secretary in the former regime, indicated that the new captain would be picked from the current crop of leaders in the coalition.

The seasoned political leader went ahead to describe the experience of each Azimio Principal pointing out that any of them as the requisite knowledge on how to move the outfit forward.

"If Raila leaves, Azimio la Umoja will remain united. At the moment we are campaigning for Raila but at the same time we are planning on how to recognise our team," he stated.

"Very soon, Kenyans are going to know who Raila will hand over the captain's armband," he insisted.

Among those eyeing the seat include Wiper Party Leader Kalonzo Musyoka who has been vocal about succeeding Raila and Narc Kenya leader Martha Karua who is yet to declare her stance publicly.

Addressing the same issue in the past, Raila noted that he will after ensuring Azimio's house is in order. He further added that he would not completely leave Kenyan politics.

“Let me respond to some issues and fears which have arisen. I am not going anywhere. I am around,” he said.

At the same time, Wamalwa rubbished reports that Raila's departure would weaken Azimio. He accused Kenya Kwanza of planning to weaken them.

However, he insisted that the opposition was well prepared to handle Kenya Kwanza.
