Rift forms within Kenya’s opposition parties
In Kenya, there appears to be cracks within the opposition Azimio la Umoja One Kenya coalition led by Raila Odinga. Martha Karua, the leader of the National Rainbow Coalition – Kenya (NARC-Kenya) and Odinga’s running mate during the 2022 presidential elections, says she’s leaving the coalition. The Nation Kenya online quotes Karua as saying that staying in Azimio was no longer tenable due to prevailing political developments. Her announcement comes after President William Ruto appointed four members of Odinga’s party to the reconstituted cabinet. Joseph Kioko, a Kenyan political analyst, tells VOA’s James Butty, Karua’s departure is inconsequential
