A secret proposal by former president Uhuru Kenyatta to name Fred Matiang’i the Azimio chairperson has sent shivers down the spine of Kenya Kwanza leadership.
Sources familiar with the developments revealed that ODM leader Raila Odinga has accepted the proposal for Matiang’i to chair Azimio. The proposal has seen president William Ruto order his troops to put all stops to ensure the former CS does not assume the Azimio top position.
Ruto fears that a combination of Raila, Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka, Matiang’i and Narc-Kenya leader Martha Karua and Eugene Wamalwa would be lethal in the 2027 general election and thus must be scuttled the earliest time possible.
The head of state has subsequently moved to nip in the bud the development by dismantling Azimio and also using state machinery to harass Matiang’i to pressure him to drop out of the Azimio leadership race.
