Narc Kenya has announced its intention to exit the Azimio la Umoja-One Kenya coalition.
The decision was conveyed in a letter from Narc Kenya’s acting Secretary General Asha Bashir to the coalition’s Secretary General Junet Mohammed.
“Kindly take note that our stay in Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Coalition is not tenable due to the prevailing political developments,” she said.
“As NARC Kenya by way of this letter, we are giving notice to exit the Coalition as stipulated in the exit clause (s) in the Coalition Agreement. This notice is effective from the date of this letter,” she added.
Both Narc Kenya and the Wiper party have distanced themselves from the proposed government of national unity by President William Ruto, following a series of street protests triggered by the controversial Finance Bill 2024.
Her letter came in the backdrop of political turbulence within the Azimio la Umoja Coalition over a dalliance with the government they had discredited.
In the latest development, Raila’s allies including ODM Deputy Party leaders Hassan Ali Joho (Ministry of Mining) and Wycliffe Oparanya (Ministry of Cooperatives) were nominated to key cabinet positions.
ODM Chairman John Mbadi (Treasury) and National Assembly Minority Leader Opiyo Wandayi (Ministry of Energy) were also nominated as well.
