Nairobi — President Uhuru Kenyatta and ODM leader Raila Odinga have announced plans to start countrywide campaigns to popularise the Azimio One Kenya Alliance once it names its presidential candidate in two weeks.

The new coalition brings together Jubilee, ODM, One Kenya Alliance among other parties which have separately signed partnership agreements with them.

“What we are looking to do is to create a movement that delivers Kenya safely across the Rubicon to the other side,” President Kenyatta said while at the ODM’s NDC at the Kasarani gymnasium.

There are all indication the flag bearer of the new coalition will be ODM’s Raila Odinga who has been described by Kenyatta as “the best choice to lead this country once I leave office.”

Kenyatta’s second and final term ends in August.

President Uhuru Kenyatta who is also the Jubilee Party Leader are set to team up with Odinga and other party leaders allied to the alliance in traversing the country after unveiling Odinga as the outfit’s presidential flag bearer in the next two weeks.

“I am a Jubilee member but in mind, body, soul and through my actions I am now a member of the Azimio and I will push its agenda going forward,” Kenyattan said.

The Head of State had earlier in the day led his Jubilee Party in endorsing Odinga during the party’s NDC at the Kenyatta International Convention Center (KICC).

Odinga was crowned by his party at a similar convention at the Kasarani gymnasium which was later attended by Kenyatta.
