The trouble within: Kalonzo’s Ukombozi rebrand opens new opposition battlefront

The aggressive rebranding and restructuring of the Azimio la Umoja coalition has turned into a double-edged sword that could either put Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka in pole position to become the opposition’s presidential candidate or expose him to possible isolation.

Mr Musyoka has been at the centre of rebranding the 2022 election vehicle as The Ukombozi Alliance (TUA), having succeeded the late former Prime Minister Raila Odinga as the coalition’s party leader.
