On June 12th, a high-stakes meeting was held at DP William Ruto's official residence in Karen and at Musalia Mudavadi's Memorial Center to discuss a potential alliance between the three leaders.
The meeting focused on four key areas: the opening of a joint secretariat, cooperation talks, current political developments, and the implications of a Uhuru-Raila-Kalonzo-Gideon-Rutto alliance.
A confidential document obtained by The Nyakundi Report reveals the finer details of the alliance, which aims to form a 'stable and formidable team' to challenge the Uhuru-Raila faction in the 2022 general elections.
According to the document, the alliance must 'reflect, represent, and capture the emotions of a majority of voters' through 'populist' policies that will 'entice' the electorates.
The document also emphasizes the need to assess the political impact of the alliance and its potential effects on the members' political interests.
Advisors of the three leaders affirm that the alliance is a strategic move to recast the political relationship and cooperation in Kenya, with an eye to the 2022 general elections.
