Amani National Congress (ANC) party leader Musalia Mudavadi and Ford Kenya's Moses Wetangula have said they will not attend their Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) counterpart Raila Odinga’s much-anticipated Azimio la Umoja convention at the Kasarani stadium slated for Friday, December 10.
The duo who are principals of the One Kenya Alliance ( OKA) in separate public statements released on Thursday, said they are tied by 'prior engagements'on the said day.
In his statement, Mudavadi who referred to Odinga as a worthy competitor,wished him success on his day.
"I have just received an official invitation to Azimio la Umoja Convention. As noted herein, the invitation was addressed in my personal capacity as ANC Party Leader and not OKA Principal,” he said.
“Regrettably, I will not be able to attend because of personal engagements. Raila Odinga is a worthy competitor, I wish him well because tomorrow will clearly be his day in the sun.”
Wetangula on his part , said " I have received an invitation to my brother Hon R A Odinga party leader ODM to attend his Azimio event tomorrow. Due to prior engagements, I will not attend. I wish him well,”
The former Prime Minister is expected to declare his fifth bid at the country's top seat in the 2022 General Elections.
The Mount Kenya Foundation (MKF) on Wednesday endorsed Odinga's candidature for next year’s presidential election after months of vetting various presidential candidates.
