Opposition leader Raila Odinga has dispelled reports of cracks in the Azimio la Umoja - One Kenya coalition, insisting that the political alliance remains united.
Speaking in Lamu on Monday, January 22, the ODM party leader accused a section of the media of spreading propaganda to cause divisions and unnecessary anxiety in the coalition.
"There is no danger of Azimio collapsing any time soon. We want our media to be responsible; we don't want them to spread unnecessary and irresponsible propaganda," Raila stated.
"Nobody has left Azimio. The coalition has remained intact, except for a few members of parliament who decided to take a walk. The leadership of Azimio is stable; there is no dissension or disagreement," he added.
The former prime minister clarified that small misunderstandings within the coalition should not be interpreted as signs of disintegration.
"We don't want the media to try and spread despondency among members of Azimio. We have stood very firm. Azimio is on a cause of liberation for this country. There may be disagreement in opinion on one issue or another, but that does not mean disintegration. I want to assure our members that Azimio is united and will not break up anytime soon," he added.
Raila's remarks come amid reports of a looming fallout in Azimio as some coalition principals continue to express interest in the presidential seat in the 2027 polls.
The leaders include Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka and Eugene Wamalwa of the Democratic Action Party of Kenya (DAP-K).
