It's time for Kalonzo to take over from Raila - Ahmednassir

 

Lawyer Ahmednasir Abdullahi has rooted for Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka to succeed Azimio leader Raila Odinga.

Ahmednasir in a tweet on Saturday said Kalonzo should be the Azimio la Umoja flag bearer in the 2027 general elections. 

"I think Hon Kalonzo Musyoka is a worthy successor to Hon Raila as Azimio's leader and torch bearer for 2027 and beyond," the lawyer said.

In a swipe at Narc Kenya Leader Martha Karua, Ahmednasir said he is often shocked to see her positioning herself to succeed Raila. 

"I was always dismayed by the false pretences and reckless postures by Hon Martha Karua that she is Azimio's leader-in-waiting!"

On Friday, the Wiper party leader organised a thanksgiving prayer meeting with leaders from three Ukambani counties and other top Azimio leaders at his expansive Yatta farm. 

The Yatta farm meeting was the first organised by Kalonzo since the last general elections. 

All Ukambani MPs, and MCAs from Kitui, Machakos and Makueni met at the farm.

This comes when some Ukambani leaders are mounting pressure on Kalonzo to declare his 2027 Presidential bid and seek support from Raila.

He first tried running for Presidency in 2007 but came in third under the ODM-K ticket.

In 2013, Kalonzo was Raila's runningmate of Raila under the Cord coalition.  

Come 2017 again, Kalonzo stood behind Raila under the Nasa Coalition.

But in 2022, Raila chose Karua as his running mate.               BY THE STAR
