<\/div>Pokot South MP David Pkosing, West Pokot Governor John Lonyangapuo and ODM leader Raila Odinga in Kapenguria on November 22, 2021<\/strong> [File, Standard]\n<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Once a close ally of the Deputy President William Ruto, Pokot South MP David\u00a0Pkosing\u00a0has said he fell out with the DP for constricting the political space across the country.\n<\/p>\n Mr\u00a0Pkosing, a Deputy Party leader of the Kenya Union Party (KUP) said that Ruto\u2019s resistance to work with small parties broke their political relationship.\u00a0 <\/p>\n \u201cWe as Pokot community, through our National Party, the Kenya Union Party (KUP) joined Azimio la Umoja because we are a party, and Azimio is ready for a coalition with other parties,\u201d said\u00a0Pkosing\u00a0said in an interview with The Standard.\n<\/p>\n He said together with West Pokot governor Prof John Lonyangapuo, who is KUP party leader, they had decided to work with Raila because they had been received positively by Azimio leadership.<\/p>\n \u201cFor instance, during the national Azimio event held at Kasarani Stadium, Raila responded to issues we presented at Kapenguria positively,\u00a0 that if he wins the presidency, he will prioritise in his government,\u201d said\u00a0Pkosing.\n<\/p>\n The MP noted that among the demands, the Pokot community raised during their Azimio meeting in Kapenguria were for the\u00a0East Pokot (Tiati) to be made a County.\n<\/p>\n \u201cOur people also requested that they be given two additional constituencies and five additional wards among other\u00a0development issues,\u201d said\u00a0Pkosing. <\/p>\n This, he said, was structured inclusivity and accommodating all communities.\n<\/p>\n \u201cAttempting to say communities can realise inclusivity by boxing them in one party is not only a lie, but is dictatorship and unconstitutional. I call upon Kenyans of goodwill to embrace structured inclusivity,\u201d said\u00a0Pkosing.\n<\/p>\n The MP said that the only viable option, for now, was the one, spearheaded by Raila.\n<\/p>\n \u201cI wish him success in making all our Kenyan communities fill part of the whole, and that will be proper inclusivity, which will promote peace and economic growth,\u201d said\u00a0Pkosing.\n<\/p>\n \u00a0 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n Source: The Standard Media Kenya<\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Pokot South MP David Pkosing, West Pokot Governor John Lonyangapuo and ODM leader Raila Odinga in Kapenguria on November 22, 2021 [File, Standard] Once a close ally of the Deputy President William Ruto, Pokot South MP David\u00a0Pkosing\u00a0has said he fell out with the DP for constricting the political space across the country.
