Sunday, February 08, 2026 - Suna East MP, Junet Mohamed, has dismissed the revival of the Azimio La Umoja Coalition Party and the appointment of Wiper leader, Kalonzo Musyoka, as its new head, terming the move unprocedural and self‑serving.Azimio, a coalition of more than 16 parties, was the ticket under which later former Prime Minister Raila Odinga contested the 2022 presidency.The alliance remained active after the election, leading anti‑Government protests until July 2024, when it went dormant following Raila’s political pact with President William Ruto.On February 2nd, former president Uhuru Kenyatta, acting as Azimio Council chairman, announced Kalonzo as coalition leader.Junet, however, laughed off the appointment, accusing Kalonzo of ignoring the coalition’s founding deed deposited with the Office of the Registrar of Political Parties (ORPP).“Kalonzo, as senior counsel, you know Azimio has a legal document with ORPP. You chose not to follow its provisions in making the changes you claim,” Junet said.He further criticized Kalonzo for blaming President Ruto’s administration after the Government printer declined to gazette his appointment.Junet, who served as Azimio’s Secretary General, questioned Kalonzo’s sudden interest in reviving Azimio months after declaring it “dead.”He urged him to stick to his Wiper Party instead of attempting to “resurrect” Azimio for selfish gain.ODM has also contested the leadership changes.In a letter to the Registrar dated February 5th, ODM Executive Director, Oduor Ong’wen, argued that the meeting that endorsed Kalonzo’s appointment was invalid, stressing that coalition leadership decisions must be made collectively by all constituent parties.The party has urged the Registrar to suspend any actions arising from the disputed meeting until the coalition’s deed of agreement is fully respected.

Sunday, February 08, 2026 - The Kenyan Government has announced fresh diplomatic efforts following alarming reports of citizens irregularly recruited to fight in the Russia-Ukraine war.On Sunday, February 8th, Foreign Affairs Principal Secretary Korir Sing’Oei confirmed that Nairobi is intensifying engagements to secure the release of Kenyans caught up in the conflict.“Over the next couple of weeks, we shall be expanding our diplomatic efforts to pursue the release of Kenyans irregularly recruited to serve on the frontlines,” he said.The announcement comes after Ukraine’s Defence Intelligence revealed that two Kenyans - Ombwori Denis Bagaka and Wahome Simon Gititu - were killed near Lyman in Donetsk.Their bodies were found alongside another Kenyan, Clinton Nyapara Mogesa.Investigations show the three were lured from stable security jobs in Qatar to Russia, where they were recruited under contracts signed by Kyrgyz citizen, Salizhan Uulu Almamet.Reports indicate Almamet even gained control of their bank accounts before sending them to a training ground in Voronezh.The Kenyans were placed in a “penal battalion,” notorious for sending prisoners and foreign mercenaries on one-way missions.After minimal training, they were deployed to storm Lyman, where they were eliminated in what Ukrainian forces described as a “kill-zone.” The Kenyan DAILY POST
