Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna has urged his opposition Azimio coalition to manage its succession in a manner that keeps it united.

Similarly, the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Secretary-General called on Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka to stay put, saying the coalition was a political force that could propel the former vice president’s political ambitions.

“Azimio will only be beneficial to Kalonzo if we stay together. This coalition is a formidable coalition and it carries the aspirations of many Kenyans. It would be very heartbreaking if we are not able to manage the succession in a way that keeps us together,” Sifuna said during an interview on Spice FM’s Situation Room yesterday, urging patience from Kalonzo and his Wiper party.
