Whoever wants me to join Kenya Kwanza are ‘wishful thinkers’ Kalonzo says
Wiper Democratic Movement party leader Kalonzo Musyoka has termed those who want him to join the Kenya Kwanza team led by Deputy President William Ruto as ‘wishful thinkers’
Musyoka who was speaking after attending a church service at Jesus Teaching Ministry, Embakasi East, Nairobi county.
“We know where we are going, and we shall pursue those wishful thinkers at the supreme court,” Musyoka said.
This is not the first time Musyoka has scoffed at the attempts by United Democratic Alliance (UDA) flag bearer William Ruto to have him join his political fold by promising him a top position once he clinches government.
While on a campaign tour in Narok County, Musyoka asked Ruto to leave him out of his politics and focus on wooing the electorate.
“Now I want to tell Ruto, please leave Kalonzo alone,” he said.
Ruto during a campaign tour in Kitui county had claimed the former Vice President has been lied to by Raila Odinga by being offered a non-existent position in the Constitution.
Musyoka in his response said that the dishing out of positions was not entirely for the benefits of certain communities but for all Kenyans to benefit from the next government.
“Not just about Kalonzo benefitting. He has been saying that I was lied to, I was sidelined. I want to ask him Pilipili usiyo kula yakuwashia nini?” the Wiper boss asked.
The UDA party leader during the campaign period in the run-up to the general elections called upon Musyoka to join his political bandwagon saying Odinga led coalition has undermined his input.
He assured Musyoka to give him a plum position once he wins the August presidential elections.
However, the latest statements by Kalonzo seem to be the last nail on the coffin for the UDA alliance in their attempt to ‘sweet talk’ the former Vice President to join their side.
Musyoka in solidarity with his Azimio la Umoja one Coalition party leader said they shall challenge the declaration of William Ruto as President-elect by Independent Electoral Boundaries Commission (IEBC) chairman Wafula Chebukati.
The Azimio leadership has pledged to seek legal redress after Wafula Chebukati declared Ruto as the fifth president.
“We are pursuing constitutional and lawful channels to invalidate Chebukati’s illegal and unconstitutional pronouncement. We are certain that justice will prevail,” Raila Odinga said during a morning breakfast with the clergy.
Raila further urged his supporters to maintain peace and calm as his team pursues constitutional avenues to invalidate the results announced by Chebukati.
Raila Odinga, Martha Karua and Kalonzo Musyoka today attended a church service at Jesus Teaching Ministry, Embakasi East, Nairobi county.
