Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka yesterday gave a glimpse into the intrigues leading up to his endorsement of ODM leader Raila Odinga as the Azimio-OKA coalition presidential aspirant.

Addressing a crowd at his home town of Tseikuru during a groundbreaking ceremony for a chapel at a Technical Training Institute, Kalonzo regretted that some leaders around Mr Odinga were opposed to him and other One Kenya Alliance (OKA) principals signing a political pact with the ODM leader.
