In the beginning, I thought OKA was the right one, until I realised it was a subsidiary of Azimio,\u201d said Mudavadi.\n<\/p>\n<p>Wetang\u2019ula, the Bungoma Senator, reiterated Kenya Kwanza\u2019s aim to enhance unity and love among Kenyans beyond their ethnic orientations.\u00a0He faulted the government for policies he termed unfriendly to investors, some who he said had been forced to leave the country.<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"Jp78mW0TrUQ\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Kenya Kwanza, OKA &amp; Azimio, Which coalition is getting it right?

If this will not be the case, he should make it known as early as now,\u201d said Mr Murkomen, adding that Rift Valley leaders would not allow electoral differences to lead to chaos.\u00a0\u201cWe have a peace pact that never again shall Kenyans shed blood because of an election.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>Kericho Senator Aaron Cheruiyot echoed Murkomen\u2019s sentiments.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.standardmedia.co.ke\/politics\/article\/2001436304\/raila-asked-to-declare-he-will-accept-poll-outcome\">Source: The Standard Media Kenya<\/a> <a \"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One Kenya Alliance principles &#8211; ANC Party Leader Musalia Mudavadi and Former Machakos Senator Jonstone Muthama during their rally in Naivasha, Nakuru on January 3, 2022.
