I thought my people from Azimio would support me-Kanini Kega speaks of betrayal from Azimio.
EALA legislator elect has expressed that he did not receive the support he expected from Azimio la Umoja, despite being affiliated to the coalition.
Speaking at an Interview, Kanini recounted how he drummed up for Raila Odinga in the Mount Kenya region, during the 2022 general elections.
Kanini stated,”I even lost my Kieni seat in the process. I thought my people from Azimio would support me but I was shocked when the voting was done. Some of them voted for people I did not even recognise. I could not believe that would happen to me considering how I risked my political career for one of their own.”
Kanini revealed that it took the help of the Deputy president and Kenya kwanza for him to get the seat.
He stated,”Kenya Kwanza MPs saved me with the help of Gachagua.”
Kanini Kega further recognized DP Rigathi Gachagua as the only senior leader that Mount Kenya has.
He further urged the people of Mount Kenya to rally behind Kenya’s second in command because he is now the King pin.
He stated,” Gachagua did well in uniting the Mt. Kenya region. He is the only senior leader we have. We need to rally behind him as a region.”
“I want to thank the Gachagua who saw that Mt Kenya region will have a problem if we are not represented in East Africa Legislative Assembly,” he added.
