Usawa Wa Wote party leader and Murang’a Governor Mwangi wa Iria has joined the Azimio -One Kenya coalition.
The Usawa party presidential aspirant announced his decision to join forces with Azimio presidential candidate Raila Odinga at a press conference on Tuesday, July 19.
Iria was denied clearance by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) in May for failing to meet several requirements.
Speaking to the media on Tuesday, the governor said Raila’s administration will implement his proposed ‘one cow, one household’ program.
“I told Raila that if we combined his Ksh6,000 pledge and my cow programme then we will take Kenyan families above the poverty line. I told him that if those two things were in our joint manifesto, then, we would have a deal.
“Through that joined manifesto, Usawa Kwa Wote will support the candidature of Raila. My supporters will now rally behind Raila Odinga,” he stated.
