“Hon. Raila Odinga is set to leave the country late Saturday, December 10, 2022, for a one-week visit to the US where he will join other leaders from across the African continent for the US-Africa conference in Washington, DC,” read part of the statement.

This comes after Azimio on Thursday called off its planned parallel Jamhuri Day celebrations that were to be held at Jacaranda Grounds on December 12.

In a statement by National Assembly Minority Leader Opiyo Wandayi, the cancellation was informed by prior commitments by Azimio leaders that were not confirmed by the announcement of the parallel celebrations.

The Ugunja Member of Parliament said that some of the Azimio top leaders will be held up in the period leading up to Jamhuri Day and after the celebrations.

“The cancellation has been occasioned by the upcoming engagements that will keep the party’s top leaders away in the run-up to Jamhuri Days and a few days after,” he said.
