NAIROBI, Kenya Feb 27 – Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta on Saturday said his party had joined an opposition coalition ahead of presidential and parliamentary elections in August in a bid to clean up politics of “crooks”.<\/p>\n

The announcement came after Kenyatta’s anointed successor William Ruto, who wants to contest the presidential election, was sacked from the ruling Jubilee party.<\/p>\n

“I heard one person saying that there is nowhere in the world where a government unites with and supports the opposition,” Kenyatta said, announcing that Jubilee was joining the Azimio la Umoja (Quest for Unity) coalition headed by veteran opposition leader Raila Odinga.<\/p>\n

“Kenya<\/strong>\u00a0will be the example. We are mature enough to distinguish between politics and the needs of the people.”<\/p>\n

The East African powerhouse has traditionally been ruled by presidents from the dominant Kikuyu tribe like Kenyatta or the Kalenjin tribe like Ruto.<\/p>\n

This year’s contest is shaping up to be a two-horse race between Ruto and Raila, a mainstay of Kenyan politics from the Luo community.<\/p>\n

Ruto was initially anointed by Kenyatta as his successor but found himself marginalised after arch-foes Kenyatta and Odinga announced a truce in 2018.<\/p>\n

“We are looking to create a movement that will deliver the country,” Kenyatta said.<\/p>\n

The Azimio la Umoja coalition is expected to pick its prefered presidential candidate in two weeks.<\/p>\n

But many observers say Odinga’s nomination is a foregone conclusion.<\/p>\n

“We are in this to restore the soul and secure the future of our people,” Odinga said on Saturday.<\/p>\n

“If we stand together, I am sure nothing will defeat us.”<\/p>\n

The 77-year-old — a former political prisoner and prime minister — will then likely head into the polls without his usual fiery anti-establishment image.<\/p>\n

– ‘One strong man’ –<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Kenyatta for his part said the coalition “will discuss and pick one strong man to face the crooks on the other side”.<\/p>\n

With its diverse population and ethnic voting blocs, elections in\u00a0Kenya<\/strong>\u00a0have often been marred by violence.<\/p>\n

More than 1,100 Kenyans lost their lives in 2007 when a disputed election result sparked tribal violence.<\/p>\n

The rapprochement between Odinga and Kenyatta came about after post-election fighting in 2017 left dozens of people dead.<\/p>\n

The pair unsuccessfully tried to introduce sweeping constitutional changes as a way to end repeated cycles of election violence.<\/p>\n

The reforms — popularly known as the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI)– proposed expanding the executive and parliament to more evenly divide the spoils of victory.<\/p>\n

But it was seen by critics as a way to enable Kenyatta — a two-term president who cannot run for a third — to remain in power by\u00a0establishing the post of prime minister.<\/p>\n

The government has appealed a court ruling that rejected the proposals and said Kenyatta could even be sued in a civil court for launching the process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
