Raila Odinga has removed a cover photo featuring him and Martha Karua from his official social media pages. Karua, the leader of NARC-Kenya, responded positively to this change, calling it a “welcome move.”
This development comes as Raila focuses on his candidacy for the African Union Commission chairmanship. He is shifting away from local politics.
During the 2022 general elections, Raila had chosen Karua as his running mate. This was in the presidential election under the Azimio coalition.
Still, Karua later announced NARC-Kenya’s exit from the coalition, citing political developments. Raila’s recent actions show a shift in focus towards the AUC position.
He stated that he will be less active in Kenyan politics. He wants to concentrate on his continental campaign.
Karua’s response to being removed from Raila’s social media profile reflects the changing dynamics within Kenyan politics. Leaders are making strategic decisions about alliances and future political endeavors.
Raila’s move to revamp his social media presence aligns with his aspirations for the AUC chairmanship. This move signals a transition towards continental responsibilities.
