After the protests were called off, Azimio coalition lost its value. The hope of overthrowing the Kenya Kwanza government vanished with the end of the protests. Raila Odinga, the Azimio candidate, tried several tactics to disrupt President William Ruto's government, but none worked. His main protege and sponsor, Uhuru Kenyatta, disappeared on a leisurely overseas holiday when it became clear that the coup plan wouldn't succeed. Now, Raila is negotiating to become the official Leader of the Opposition, but there's a group of 'rejected advisors' from Mt Kenya led by Jeremiah Kioni, Martha Karua, Mwangi Wa Iria, and Maina Njenga who seem to be sticking to him like ticks on a hound. But wait, what's their role again? Nobody knows, and Raila's inner circle wants them out ASAP. This group's presence is causing concern among Raila's inner circle, and they want them gone. The reason for this is that the 'advisors' have formed an alliance called Kamwene (for me and my own), which seems to be preparing to oppose Azimio in case of a fallout. But what's this fallout about? In the ongoing negotiations for Raila's leadership as the official opposition leader, Kamwene isn't convinced that it will lead anywhere. Why, you ask? Well, they've formed this Kamwene alliance just in case things go south with Azimio dialogue, and they've lost all hope in Raila's ability to lead. Apparently, they have grand plans in Kamwene, like splitting Mt Kenya and call for street protests and execute what Raila has failed to do. Quite an ambitious plan! Oh, and let's not forget that the Kamwene team is chest-thumping about having delivered a whopping 4% of the Mount Kenya vote to Raila in the 2022 elections. What a shameful stellar achievement! Jeremiah Kioni, on the other hand, seems to have lost faith in the SG position in disgruntled Jubilee and is trying to sell fear with Kamwene. But who's he trying to scare? Raila Odinga? Haaa! As for Martha Karua, the deputy president candidate, she delivered a truly "historic" less than 700 votes. Impressive, to say the least. It's clear that Raila Odinga wants to retire peacefully, and the government is willing to make his retirement realistic. However, Kamwene leaders insist on sticking around and telling him that negotiations won't work, which seems ironic for a man who wants to retire peacefully. It might be time for Kamwene leaders to understand that their influence is not as significant as they believe, and perhaps they should plan for their own retirement as early as now...#VerifiedDiscourse
