The Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Coalition has cancelled plan to hold a parallel Jamhuri Day fete at Jacaranda Grounds.
Opiyo Wandayi, the minority leader, on Thursday stated that the cancellation is due to prior commitments that were not confirmed at the time of the initial announcement.
“The cancellation has been occasioned by the upcoming engagements that will keep the party’s top leaders away in the run-up to Jamhuri Days and a few days after,” Wandayi said.
“We reaffirm that even with the cancellation of the parallel celebrations, the People’s Dialogue shall continue in one way or another, in public or private in the coming days, weeks and months in different parts of the country,” he added.
The Ugunja MP reaffirmed the opposition’s commitment to holding President William Ruto’s administration accountable in order for it to keep its promises to Kenyans.
“As Azimio, we promise that we shall continue to stand together and fight together until the Ruto regime returns to what really matters to the people,” he said.
Raila Odinga, the leader of Azimio, announced on Wednesday that the coalition’s parallel Jamhuri Day celebrations would be held on December 12 at Jacaranda Grounds.
