Kalonzo to Support Raila's Presidential Bid in 2022

Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka maintained that he was ready to support Raila Odinga should he choose to take another attempt at the presidency in 2022.

Speaking in Athi River on Tuesday, during Wiper Women's League convention, Kalonzo denied claims that he and two other NASA co-principals were planning to form a different coalition without Raila.

Kalonzo compared his relationship with Raila to one between conjoined twins maintaining that he will not abandon Raila, but will stick to the ideals of NASA as a registered coalition.

“I stood with Raila in 2013, stood by him in 2017 and I will still support him if need be. I am not a selfish leader. Raila and I are twins and whoever thinks they will cause disunity in NASA should think again,” Kalonzo stated.

His remarks came after Wiper deputy party leader Farah Maalim claimed his boss, Wetang'ula and Mudavadi could be looking for a new political outfit.

“I am in NASA to stay. We only had an issue with NRM but that has been resolved. NASA is a registered coalition of parties and we will remain members,” he maintained.

Kalonzo also denied reports he is scheduled to take oath as the "people's deputy president" on February 28.

The Wiper leader also threatened to sue Interior CS Fred Matiangí, Inspector General of Police Joseph Boinnet and former Attorney General Githu Muigai for contempt if they fail to restore his security detail within three days.

"I want to remind the Jubilee administration that as a former vice president, I deserve security, not as a privilege as they think but as a right," Kalonzo noted.
