Nairobi — Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Party Leader Raila Odinga has invited Wiper Party, KANU, United Democratic Party (UDP) and other like-minded parties to the formation of Azimio La Umoja Coalition this coming weekend.

Speaking during UDP’s National Delegates Conference (NDC), Odinga said the Coalition that is set to bring together the ruling party Jubilee and ODM among others will lead to country’s new political dawn.

“That day we will form Azimio and we will finally have a movement that define our country’s political landscape. I am therefore asking Wiper, KANU and UDP to join us and let us form Azimio together,” he stated.

Odinga who also defended his handshake with President Uhuru Kenyatta, pointed out that joint efforts are key to solving Kenya’s challenges.

“No single man or woman can claim to be able to single-handedly fix the many problems facing this nation. We must meticulously cultivate an inclusive political establishment and use it to pursue our aspirations, confront our nightmares and denounce our prejudices,” Odinga said.

Jubilee and ODM will hold their NDCs on Friday and Saturday at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) and Kasarani Stadium respectively.

ODM’s NDC is expected to endorse Odinga’s presidential bid, and a coalition arrangement with the ruling Jubilee Party and other parties under the Azimio la Umoja Movement.
