The Azimio La Umoja movement was launched by former Prime Minister Raila Odinga in July this year as part of his bid for the presidency in the upcoming general election in August 2023. The movement aims to unite Kenyans across ethnic and political divides and promote national unity and development.
Despite the initial skepticism, Azimio La Umoja has gained significant traction over the past few months, with several high-profile personalities joining the movement. These include Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko, Kisii Governor James Ongwae, and former Agriculture CS Mwangi Kiunjuri.
Deputy President William Ruto’s attendance at the Kisii rally came as a surprise to many, given the ongoing political differences between him and Raila Odinga. Ruto’s relationship with Raila Odinga has been strained in recent years, culminating in their bitter fallout in the aftermath of the 2017 general election.
