News that Retired President Uhuru Kenyatta could be stepping down from the leadership of Azimio la Umoja One Kenya coalition has awoken the interest of a number of leaders who are hopeful of taking his place.
Uhuru is considering stepping down from the role he has held since the coalition was formed earlier in the year due to obligations from the law and a need to focus on other tasks. Jubilee Vice chairperson David Murathe told The Standard last week Uhuru was intent on letting his partner in the coalition ODM leader, Raila Odinga, fully take over the leadership.
