Why Azimio big shots called off Jamhuri Day parallel rally

What was billed as an opposition Jamhuri Day celebration that was to take place in Nairobi's Jacaranda Grounds was cancelled without much explanation leaving Azimio la Umoja coalition supporters and some leaders wondering what could have happened.

It turns out intense lobbying from the government, peace promoters and partners within the Azimio coalition may have pushed its leaders to abort the December 12 meeting.

The coalition, at a press conference held in Nairobi, yesterday, said it had called off its parallel fete.
