NASA co-principal Kalonzo Musyoka has maintained that former Prime Minister Raila Odinga is the leader of the opposition amid calls from a section of NASA leaders to have him ejected from the position.
Ford Kenya leader Moses Wetangula and his Amani National Congress (ANC) counterpart Musalia Mudavadi have been claiming that there is a vacuum in the opposition.
The leaders wanted one of them or Kalonzo to take over the post.
Speaking at the AIC Church in Athi River, Machakos County on Sunday, Kalonzo said he still recognizes Raila as the official opposition leader.
“The country has for long been ethnically divided. I support the handshake between Uhuru and Raila because for a lasting solution, people have to sacrifice themselves. Let us give them the benefit of doubt,” Kalonzo said.
“NASA is actually under the constitution as official Opposition. We are still in Opposition and will continue criticizing the Jubilee Government especially on corruption,” he added.
A number of leaders from the opposition affiliate parties; Ford Kenya, ANC, and Wiper have been accusing ODM party of betrayal.
This came after the ouster of Senator Wetangula as the leader of the minority in parliament.
