A new political formation is brewing and is aimed at outdoing the now famous Tanga Tanga and Kieleweke Jubilee Party outfits.
With the 2022 Succession politics taking a centre stage, Amani National Congress leader Musalia Mudavadi has hinted at a new formation to counter the activities of the Kieleweke and Tanga Tanga groups.
According to sources, Mudavadi’s allies retreated into boardroom meetings where a decision was reached to form ‘Team Komboa Kenya.’
Sabatia MP Alfred Agoi, a close ally of Mr Mudavadi, confirmed the new development to a local daily and said the ANC leader is holding a series of meetings in Nairobi today( Sunday )to cement the new group, which shall be unveiled at a different rally to be held in Kakamega soon.
Mr Agoi said Kieleweke and Tanga Tanga were formed to fight for and against an individual (Deputy President William Ruto), while the new outfit will fight for the plight of Kenyans.
The development follows the aborted anti-Ruto rally in Kakamega that had been scheduled to take place on Saturday.
Ford Kenya had distanced itself from the rally, whose invitation had indicated that its leader Moses Wetang’ula was among those expected to attend.
Sources said Mr Mudavadi was scheduled to be the main speaker at the event and was expected to spell out the region’s political direction.
On Saturday, however, Mr Mudavadi’s allies maintained that the Kakamega rally was organised by Senator Cleophas Malala and Nominated MP Godfrey Osotsi “to embarrass” their leader and that Mr Mudavadi was not involved.
According to Mr Agoi, a series of public engagements were held by Mr Mudavadi in Thika and Taita Taveta last week where the Amani leader met several grassroots leaders, including Taita Taveta Governor Granton Samboja.
He said the formation of ‘Team Komboa Kenya’ is in its final stages and its composition will be made public at a later date.
