Kalonzo, Gideon and Jirongo sign OKA coalition pact with Martha Karua

One Kenya Alliance (OKA) has signed a coalition agreement with NARC-KENYA.

The parties principals Kalonzo Musyoka, Gideon Moi, Cyrus Jirongo and Martha Karua signed the agreement on Wednesday.

The principals said in a joint statement that they have committed to stand firm, together and are focused on securing and uplifting the lives of Kenyans.

“We are glad to inform Kenyans that this morning, OKA principals have signed a deed of assignment. This is an affirmation of our commitment to standing firm, together, and focused on securing and uplifting the lives of Kenyans,” the principals said.

The leaders said in a joint statement read at the Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka Command Centre in Karen by KANU leader Gideon Moi that they will officially deposit the agreement with the Registrar of Political Parties on February 28.

Their announcement has come after the exit of ANC party leader Musalia Mudavadi and FORD-Kenya Moses Wetangula’s exit from OKA.

The new OKA leaders said they are still open to any partnerships with like-minded leaders and confirmed the interest of 10 other political parties in joining the alliance.

The leaders said Kenya’s diversity calls for heterogeneity of minds and ideas to effect impactful change.

“10 other political parties have expressed interest in joining the Coalition. This is because we believe that the diversity of our nation calls for heterogeneity of minds and ideas to effect impactful change,” they said.

OKA now comprises four parties namely Wiper, KANU, UDP and NARC-Kenya.
