Kalonzo Musyoka Appointed Azimio Party Leader Amid ODM Leadership Dispute

Kalonzo Musyoka has been appointed Party Leader of the Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Coalition Party, succeeding Raila Odinga. This restructuring was announced after a joint session of the Azimio Council and National Executive Committee on February 2. The move is part of a broader reactivation of the coalition, which saw former President Uhuru Kenyatta chair a rare council meeting and announce significant leadership changes. Concurrently, a dispute has emerged within the Orange Democratic Movement, a member party. ODM Secretary General Edwin Sifuna challenged the constitutional validity of Oburu Oginga's installation as interim party leader. Sifuna stated that the process violated party rules and that a deputy party leader should have acted temporarily.
