ODM leader Raila Odinga might soon receive KANU leader Gideon Moi and his Wiper counterpart Kalonzo Musyoka, KANU Secretary General Nick Salat says.
The two have since parted ways with their colleagues Musalia Mudavadi and Moses Wetangula who on Sunday announced union with DP Ruto.
They even stormed out of an ANC NDC meeting at the Bomas of Kenya after realizing that the DP had been invited as chief guest without their knowledge.
Salat now says that they have also abandoned the OKA coalition and could soon join the former Prime Minister and his Azimio La Umoja initiative.
He told The Star that should this not work, the two might have to face the August polls independently, suggesting that they cannot join Ruto like Mudavadi.
“This thing will mutate and mutate. We can join Azimio or go along the way,” he is quoted.
He added that Kalonzo and Moi didn’t expect what happened at the Bomas, given that the DP has always been on the opposite side with them, and it is because of this that they moved out.
Makueni MP Dan Maanzo said that while it could be hard for Kalonzo to troop back to Raila, it is something that might be seen happening.
He said that his party leader, Moi and the remaining leaders allied to them will hold deep consultations before deciding on the route to take.
“Even if Oka was to disintegrate, it will not be to the benefit of Raila. Out of the betrayal that we have seen in the past, it is unlikely to support Raila, but anything is possible in politics,” he told the paper.
Interestingly, Mudavadi and Wetangula’s announcement came only days after they denied being in talks with Ruto, at a time when rumours about their secret engagements were becoming loud.
What now remains is to see who between Ruto and Mudavadi will deputise the other, given that each has declared interest in being the fifth President.
