After Less than 100 days in Office, President William Ruto is courting protests from his Azimio rival over a myriad of issues, including the removal of IEBC officers who objected to his election. Azimio leader Raila Odinga is not letting up in holding the new administration accountable.
Kalonzo Musyoka end weeks of speculation and returns to Azimio la Umoja-One Kenya Coalition, accepting the position Chief Cabinet Minister and pledging to campaign vigorously for Azimio's flag bearer Raila Odinga and his running mate Martha Karua.
