One Kenya Alliance principals fail to settle on presidential candidate for 2022 election

A day-long meeting of the One Kenya Alliance tried to craft a formula for picking its presidential candidate ahead of the 2022 general election.

The alliance that brings together KANU Party Leader Gideon Moi, Ford Kenya Party leader Moses Wetangula, Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka and and Party leader Musalia Mudavadi failed to agree on the matrix to select their presidential flag bearer.

Insider sources indicated the subject which became contentious was shelved given the One Kenya Alliance is still at its infant stages.

Sources close to proceedings at the boardroom meeting say a faction of the team pushed for seniority in the pecking order as a formula to arrive at the One Kenya Alliance flagbearer.

This was rejected by a group that preferred a scientific research conducted by possibly an international firm to arrive at the best candidate who has the numbers, influence and charisma.
