Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka has cut ties with Azimio la Umoja to run for President.


Kalonzo who will be running for the second time will be deputized by Andrew Leteipa Ole Sunkuli.


Speaking at the Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka (SKM) command center in Karen, the Wiper party leader said he decided to run after being let down by the Azimio alliance, where he had planned to be Raila Odinga’s running mate.


“My brother Raila knows I am naming my running mate. He came to my house to try and convince me to accept his choice. We did not agree and he said he would choose Martha and I told him I would choose my own running mate.” Said Kalonzo.


Kalonzo’s decision to run for President comes despite Raila Odinga’s offer of the position of Chief Cabinet Secretary.


The Wiper party had already filed a lawsuit to the Azimio One Kenya Alliance coalition agreement.
