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.
