Former Cherangany MP Kipruto Kirwa has said the Azimio coalition is still intact and rubbished claims of division.

Speaking on Tuesday, Kirwa emphasised that the coalition is also ready to go to the ballot.

"We (Azimio) are focused on our side. We know our team is intact, focused and ready for elections anytime," Kirwa said.

"We are not saying that the current regime will be there for the next 10 years. That's why elections are held to decide if Kenyans are happy with the government of the day or they need another one,"

The legislator explained that there have been ongoing talks with all the Azimio coalition parties, with some of their heads even attending the recent rallies.

"There are consultations among Azimio political entities for purposes of ensuring that we take over the next government. We are also preparing for the next election which is 2027, " Kirwa said.

Kirwa was in the Kenya Kwanza camp before he switched to the Raila Odinga-led coalition early last year.

He was the UDA vice chairman at the time.

Kirwa who is a former Agriculture minister said that Jubilee is still part of Azimio despite the number of members decreasing.

"Jubilee is still in Azimio. It was the ruling party for the last five years and since now it's not, numbers might have gone down, but they have adjusted and have been very clear that they are fully in Azimio," he said.
