DAP-K’s Eugene Wamalwa Pulls Out of Azimio Coalition

After months of contention between Azimio Principals and Raila Odinga, one of them has finally decided to pull his party out of the coalition.

Speaking on Saturday when he chaired a KNEC meeting in Webuye, Eugene Wamalwa announced that his party, the Democratic Action Party of Kenya (DAP-K), would no longer be affiliated with the Azimio Coalition.

“We are saying as DAP-K that we cannot and we no longer find it tenable to continue being in a relationship with people who are no longer like-minded with us, who have persistently aided and abetted Zakayo in reintroducing harsh taxes,” Wamalwa stated.

Wamalwa also cited the collaboration of some of the coalition leaders with the ruling Kenya Kwanza Government that have made the coalition unpopular with the people as well as their support for Gachagua’s impeachment as the other reasons for this drastic action.
