Following Raila’s departure from Kenya’s politics to try fit the Africa Union (AU) Chairman shoe, Kalonzo Musyoka has quickly taken over as the leader of Azimio la Umoja.
Kalonzo has expressed his gameness and confidence in the team he will spearhead, stating that Azimio, under his leadership, will pose an opposition like never before.
“Yes, I am ready to be the Leader of the Official Opposition. This is the team. You will see the Opposition like never before,” he stated.
The former Vice President has further empowered the minority in Parliament, praising the populace as the driving force for the new Azimio, saying, “We may be light in numbers in Parliament, but outside, we have the People of Kenya.”
During the unveiling of the Katiba @14 commemoration at Ufungamano House on August 28, 2024, Kalonzo alluded to the fact that Azimio will work with Gen Zs, starting with their inclusion in the shadow Cabinet, which will be formed in the near future.
“We are going to form a shadow Cabinet. Gen Zs and Gen zote (all generations) will be incorporated,” Kalonzo affirmed.
He has also guaranteed that the discussions at Ufungamano House centred on drafting a team that will ensure there is no derogation of the public’s fundamental rights under the Constitution.
The new official opposition boasts a united front as Eugene Wamalwa has declared that Raila has left behind a competent and reliable lineup.
He noted, “we assure Kenyans that Raila has left behind an able, experienced, seasoned and committed team and there will be no vacuum in the leadership of the Opposition as we embark on Operation Okoa Kenya from Ufungamano in Nairobi.”
