Azimio co-principal Martha Karua has said that Azimio is on its deathbed after a section of ODM members were nominated to the cabinet on Wednesday, July 24.
Speaking in an interview on Thursday, July 25, Karua asserted that the coalition had been pulling in different directions since the National Dialogue Committee (NADCO) began its talks.
According to the Narc Kenya party leader, Azimio agreed at the beginning of the year that every party should build itself.
"Azimio is shaky and I think after yesterday, it's done. I'm saying shaky because since the NADCO talks, we've been pulling in different directions. The only thing that has saved us is that we said at the beginning of this year, let every party go and build itself. So I've been busy with Narc-Kenya and not busy with Azimio," Karua remarked.
Karua, however, said some of the coalition members will hold a meeting on Monday next week and make a statement later.

On President William Ruto nominating four ODM members to the cabinet, the Narc Kenya leader noted that she was not surprised.
"I was not surprised because Ruto modus operandi, his way of working, he is everything. He is a jack of all trades. I am sure that he can appoint the CSs, but he will be the one running the ministries. It is a one-man show," Karua stated.
On Wednesday, President Ruto nominated John Mbadi, Hassan Joho , Wycliffe Oparanya and Opiyo Wandayi to the cabinet, all under Azimio.
Narc Kenya is one of the parties that make up the Azimio coalition, and Karua, as its leader, was the coalition's presidential running mate in the 2022 general elections.
