Kalonzo Musyoka Reaffirms 2027 Presidential Bid

Kalonzo Musyoka, leader of the Wiper Patriotic Front, has reiterated his determination to run for president in 2027. This comes after a chaotic event at the relaunch of the Linda Mwananchi Movement, where hecklers disrupted proceedings.

Musyoka urged his supporters in Machakos and the wider Ukambani region to back his campaign, calling on allied leaders to show stronger support. He also criticized some leaders for not showing enough support at the event.

Opposition Unity

Musyoka's comments were made at a house-opening ceremony for Senator Agnes Kavindu. He emphasized the need for unity within the opposition ahead of the 2027 General Election.

Meanwhile, Makueni Senator Dan Maanzo alleged that the government orchestrated the heckling incident to create divisions within the opposition. Musyoka also criticized some clergy members for taking political sides instead of speaking out against injustice.
