Kalonzo Rules Out Plans To Join Ruto

He explained that Wiper, an Azimio constituent party, would be challenging Ruto's victory at the Supreme Court, and that working with the Deputy President was out of the question.

Wiper Democratic Movement party leader Kalonzo Musyoka has denied reports that he will join President-elect William Ruto’s Kenya Kwanza alliance.

Speaking to the press on Sunday, August 21 after attending a service at the JTM Church in Donholm, Nairobi, Kalonzo laughed off the allegations, confirming that he was in Azimio.

He explained that Wiper, an Azimio constituent party, would be challenging Ruto’s victory at the Supreme Court, and that working with the Deputy President was out of the question.

“I think those are wishful thinkers. We know where we are going; straight to pursue them in the Supreme Court,” Kalonzo noted.

The former Vice President’s clarification came just an hour after religious leaders from his Kitui neighborhood pressed him and other Lower Eastern leaders to join Kenya Kwanza.

They claimed that the region has experienced economic and development recession over the last ten years that they have been in opposition.

“We appeal to you that this time, do not allow us to fall into the opposition. We neither have sufficient water nor do we have food. Our people are suffering,” the church leaders reckoned.
