Why Raila did he remove his old photo with Karua?
Raila's decision on Tuesday, August 27, could be influenced by Karua's announcement that he and the Narc Kenya party are leaving the coalition Declaration of Unity.
In a brief notice to Secretary General of the Unity Declaration Junet Mohamed, the group cited “ongoing political developments” as the reason for its immediate withdrawal from the coalition.
The party and others helped establish a coalition for the 2022 presidential election, where Karua was Raila's running mate.
Another reason may be that Raila has turned his attention to the campaign for the position of chairman of the African Union Commission (AUC).
How did Karua respond?
Karua, who was Azimio's co-leader before announcing his withdrawal from the coalition, responded to Raila's action.
He indicated that he was okay with Raila's decision and welcomed it.
“Acceptable,” Karua said.
What did Kenyans online have to say about Karua's statement?
Kenyans online were quick to respond to Karua, with some applauding his move while others asked if he supported Raila's AUC bid.
