Azimio leader Raila Odinga has cancelled planned parallel Jamhuri Day celebrations.
The celebrations had been slated for Monday 12th December at the Jacaranda grounds.
Minority Leader Opiyo Wandayi says the move is occasioned by the fact that Azimio leaders will be engaged elsewhere on that day.
“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,” Wandayi said.

Wandayi says the engagements by Azimio leaders were awaiting confirmation at the time the announcement of parallel celebrations was made.
“We reaffirm that even with the cancellation of the parallel celebrations, the People’s Dialogue shall continue in one way or another, in public or private in the coming days, weeks and months in different parts of the country,” he said.
The Ugunja MP reiterated the opposition’s commitment to keeping President William Ruto’s administration in check to ensure it delivers on its promises to Kenyans.
“As Azimio, we promise that we shall continue to stand together and fight together until the Ruto regime returns to what really matters to the people,” he reckoned.
On Wednesday, Azimio held what it termed as a people’s dialogue forum at the Kamukunji grounds
It was during the rally that Raila made the announcement on the hosting of a parallel Jamhuri day celebrations
