Former Nairobi Town Clerk Philip Kisia is set to succeed Raphael Tuju as the Executive Director of the Azimio La Umoja One Kenya Coalition, following a proposal by Wiper Party Leader Kalonzo Musyoka.
In a statement, Musyoka lauded Kisia’s extensive experience in public service, private sector leadership, and community engagement, describing him as the ideal candidate to steer the coalition’s Secretariat through its transition.
“Mr. Kisia’s extensive experience in public service, private sector leadership, and community engagement makes him uniquely qualified to lead Azimio’s Secretariat as it transitions to an all-inclusive and progressive coalition,” said Musyoka.
Musyoka also expressed his appreciation for Zein Abubakar, who led his Presidential Secretariat over the past six months.
“I wish to thank Hon. Zein Abubakar for accepting to lead my Presidential Secretariat for the last six months. His rich and prolific academic background combined with years of activism has already enriched our growing People’s Team,” he said.
The Wiper leader hinted at plans to expand his team, bringing on board additional members committed to opposing dictatorship and restoring constitutional democracy in Kenya.
Kisia’s expected appointment is part of Azimio’s efforts to revitalize its leadership and chart a path forward as the coalition positions itself as a leading political force.
