Martha Karua Declares Support for Azimio La Umoja Presidential Candidate Raila Odinga
Narc-Kenya party leader Martha Karua has thrown her support behind Azimio La Umoja presidential candidate Raila Odinga.
Karua announced the move on Wednesday following a meeting with Odinga at Serena Hotel, Nairobi, where she signed an agreement to join the Azimio coalition.
Addressing reporters at the hotel, Karua said she decided to back Odinga’s State House bid after what she termed as “careful consideration.”
“From now onwards, I am supporting comrade Raila Odinga and Azimio La Umoja. From now on, I am committed to popularizing the Azimio La Umoja and Raila Odinga,” she said.
“Without integrity in leadership, all promises will amount to nothing. I have chosen to be with Raila without struggle. We've been in the trenches together and from today we shall be going out to popularize the Azimio La Umoja coalition and his 10-point agenda.”
While welcoming Karua to Azimio, Odinga said the two agreed that it was time to come together again and work for the interest of the people of Kenya.
“I am welcoming my comrade Martha Karua to Azimio, this is the winning team. We had a one-on-one conversation with my sister and comrade Martha …and during that time we went down the memory lane, there are not many people I can have such a conversation with,” said Odinga.
He added: ““Martha Karua has stood firm and paid a huge price for the second liberation of Kenya. We gone through hills and valleys together and we had now agreed there is still a lot to be done. she is a general and wears scars of struggle.”
Odinga, who is running for the presidency for the fifth time, enjoys the support of President Kenyatta whose tenure expires after the August 9th elections.

Every KENYAN has a right to support WHOEVER they want. She UNDERSTANDS the current political climate.
Like I had earlier stated, THIS TIME AROUND, THE HYENAS ARE WILLING TO SACRIFICE THEIR OWN FOR POWER.
So this begs the question, AIN'T she running for kirinyanga governor's seat??
Well, she will battle it with WAIGURU.
If WAIGURU was with RAILA, she would have backed RUTO.
So, her decision has nothing to do with the COMMON MWANAINCHI, BUT JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT HER TUMMY STAYS FULL.
THIS IS PURELY POLITICAL PROSTITUTION.

All along Kenyans knew Karua can never support Ruto because he is a thief. Karua cares about Kenya and she wants to see kenya not pilferaged by WSR.

The only politician in Kenya who is not a thief is the one who has not won a post yet. Just look in your backyard and you will see a card-carrying "mheshimiwa".

She will support whichever party as long as Waiguru is not in it. She cannot seem to get over the fact that she may not be governor again and unfortunately she lacks the charisma and humility required to be VP not that she even stands a chance. Just like Paul Muite she needs to retire there are more capable candidates just like her youth her political sphere of influence continues to decline
