Kalonzo Musyoka who is the Wiper party leader has accused his sabordinate of threatening his chances of succeeding President William Ruto in 2027 Presidency race.
As Nation Africa reports, Kalonzo Musyoka on Wednesday, April 5, rallied the Ukambani region behind Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Coalition Party cause.
Addressing mourners during the burial of Pius Musembi, who until his death in a road accident a week ago, was a prominent Machakos businessman, a seemingly worked-up Musyoka called out his allies for staging a poor show during the bi-weekly demonstrations.
“Kambas displayed utmost cowardice during the demonstrations,” Musyoka said at Kisioni Village in Makueni County on Wednesday.
He was responding to Kitui Senator Enoch Wambua who claimed that the demonstrations had enhanced Musyoka’s chances of beating President Ruto in the 2027 General Election as, he said, it had restored honour to Ukambani political kingpin who has for long fought claims that he is indecisive.
“Kambas should emulate Luos to win the presidency. If you developed a spine, the whole nation would take notice. Winning the presidency will take more than pressuring the Azimio coalition flag bearer Raila Odinga to declare his support to Kalonzo. These things are never given. They are grabbed,” Musyoka added.

Ngilu, who had spoken before Kalonzo, indicated that she had demonstrated enough in her long political life and that it was time for upcoming politicians to take up the baton.
“Honourable Musyoka, I know the work you are doing. Those who are asking about my whereabouts started demonstrating just the other day while I have inhaled teargas since 1992 during the Moi era,” she said.

It was the first time the veteran politician had appeared in public since last year’s General Election. The low profile had fuelled speculations with Wambua claiming she had become an ally of President Ruto.
She also said she had not betrayed Odinga as she called on the Kenya Kwanza administration to swiftly reign in the high cost of living.
“We had a very good agenda for Azimio. We were clear on our manifesto. The others also said as soon as they are sworn into office the cost of a 2-kilogram packet of maize flour will drop to Ksh 70. They also promised to lower the cost of cooking oil. But none of this has happened. Musyoka you are right. However, the conversations you are having should be a little transparent. We need to know what you are saying because we are interested in saving our country,” Ngilu said.
