Tuesday, March 1, 2022 – Wiper Leader Kalonzo Musyoka cannot and will never be ODM Leader Raila Odinga’s running mate.
This was revealed by Kalonzo’s close ally Enock Wambua.
Speaking during an interview, Wambua, who is also the Kitui Senator, insisted that Kalonzo Musyoka cannot deputize Raila Odinga the third time.
“Coalition will have a conversation about producing a presidential candidate, I want to repeat what my party leader said and what I said myself, that as Wiper we are not ready to deputize Raila Amolo Odinga,” Wambua said.
According to Wambua, the Wiper’s stand is based on two historical instances where they feel the ODM party shortchanged them.
“Kalonzo Musyoka deputized Raila Odinga twice and he has told the public many times that he has had an agreement that Raila that in 2022 presidential election, whether Raila won 2017 or not Raila was going to support Kalonzo Musyoka,” the Kitui Senator said.
“We were indeed shortchanged out of political parties funding by ODM, and when the party leader of ODM finally agreed to pay out some money to the other affiliate parties to NASA.”
“In his calculations, he said Wiper was entitled to Ksh 70 million, to date even after all the money has been received in ODM, to date they have only paid around Ksh 20 million,” Wambua added.
The vocal senator further claimed that One Kenya Alliance is not joining Azimio la Umoja in the upcoming General Election.
“One Kenya Alliance is opening up the doors for negotiations, we in Wiper are not joining Azimio; One Kenya Alliance is not joining Azimio.
“We have opened doors for negotiations, and discussion can take whatever directions,” the Kitui senator stated.
