The One Kenya Alliance (OKA) was a short-sighted vehicle for former CORD/NASA principals. A few of them has already left the fold and is now part of the Deputy President William Ruto’s alliance. These are Moses Wetan’gula and Musalia Mudavadi. Those two left it and together with Ruto created the Kenya Kwanza Alliance.
The ones left behind with prominence are Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka, Gideon Moi and Marta Karua. It is now the talks of the future for these three and their parties, which are the OKA at this very moment. However, OKA is only a temporary gig and it lost even more steam when Amani National Congress (ANC) and Forum for the Restoration of Democracy–Kenya (FORD-Kenya) left it.
The Wiper Democratic Movement (WDM), Kenya African National Union (KANU) and National Rainbow Coalition (NARC-Kenya) all has choices to make, but it is written in the starts. Unless, they want to go it alone. That is in doubt, as the strength is with the strongest allies. Therefore, these folks needs to look outside. Because, they know perfectly well that they have no hold or grasp to push any narrative or story to sell during the campaigns.
This is why we know these are now negotiating and ensuring a safe-haven in the Azimio la Umoja coalition, which will have the backing of Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) and the Jubilee Party. As these two are gearing up a successive campaign for Raila Odinga to become the fifth President of Kenya.
Nevertheless, that means the likes of Kalonzo Musyoka have to trade away his hot-shot spot and degrade his stance on being the top-dog in the up-coming elections. He will again become a co-principal and follow the direction of Odinga. That got to sting after trying to do this on his own with the OKA coalition. Which is soon defunct and a relic of the 2022 elections.
Since the OKA was built on sand and not on mountain grounds. It was bound to be taken by the waves of the sea and eventually get destroyed. That is evidentially what’s happening, as the Azimio la Umoja and OKA is planning an agreement in the near future. If that is true, than the OKA is on it’s deathbed and soon done as a unit.
That means Kalonzo, Moi and Karua is trying to get a cut and a significant place in the possible new administration. They are all doing the bidding and ensuring their opportunity to eat post-election 2022. These folks are just trying to get a digestible meal and hoping Odinga takes the tab. That’s how it looks from a far….
We can just wonder how Odinga and his team is taking this. As this has been an expected move for months. The end of OKA was already there when Mudavadi and Wetangula decided their path. Now, the rest has to find a decent home and shelter. The only viable place is under the wings of Odinga. Therefore, they are seeking it… but trying to carve the best out of it. As they want to buy and sell their parties for the most political capital. That is the initial drive now.
We just have to see if it was a trade of bargain or overprice in the coming days. As we know the egos and the people in question has high belief of their own value. It is just time to see if it will be equated or be devalued by the ones across the table. Peace.
FYI: OKA is dead, we are just awaiting the pronunciation of it. So, the ones believing in it can mourn.
