No one needs to panic. 2013 was jubilee vs nasa coalitions. 2022 with be azimio coalition vs alibaba+40. ODM is just one of the parties in the azimio coalition and for one to be in azimio they dont have to join ODM. Therefore one can still remain and run on jubilee, DP, PNU, Narc etc tickets and be in the azimio coalition. Kenyans have experience with coalitions and therefore there should be no worry.
Azimio is inviting all like minded PARTIES to join the COALITION, while UDAku is demanding that individuals abandon their parties and join the new outfit. Alibaba is desperate to have numbers in the next parliament and that is why he is condemning regional parties despite the fact that he got to power by trading his regional party ie "chama cha wafugaji" URP.
When everyone is in one box, hasla with then be able to control everyone especially those from mt kenya, the way Tuju has dominated even hasla's supporters in jubilee coz they have no escape route. So in 2023 if Kachagua is slapped by sudi, there is nothing he can do coz he is trapped in UDA. But if kachakua was in a mt kenya party which is in coaltion with UDA, then he can walk away and hasla would have to kneel before him and plead with his party not to leave the uda coalition.
It is ironical that those who have been complaining most that they were forced to fold their parties to join jubilee which they say has become a dictatorship are the same ones who now want to join the UDA one party dictatorship where watazimiwa oksijeni. Only a fool makes the same mistake twice.
