Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka is walking a tight political rope after his allies from Ukambani threatened to abandon him if he backs ODM boss Raila Odinga for President in next year's election.
Led by Kitui Senator Enoch Wambua, the legislators warned Kalonzo against any plans to support Raila, saying he would be a lonely man in such a journey.
“Should our party leader ever make the decision to support the Rt. Hon Raila Amolo Odinga for presidency, we respectfully assure him of two very painful outcomes,” they said in a statement read by Wambua.
Other leaders at the press briefing were Irene Kasalu (Kitui Woman Representative), Dan Maanzo (Makueni), Makai Mulu (Kitui Central), Edith Nyenze (Kitui West) and Danson Mwashako (Wundanyi).
They reiterated that he will not only walk the journey alone, but his Kamba community and other supporters across the country will ‘never forgive him'.
However, Kalonzo’s lieutenants denied any talks between him and Raila, saying they should ‘put to rest wild speculations’ that their party leader was considering deputizing Raila in 2022.
“What we are saying that our people are saying is Kalonzo cannot support Raila again. We can support any other person within OKA but not Raila,” Wambua said.
The leaders said that the Kamba nation was firmly behind OKA and persuaded the principals to reject any plot to divide them.
“Encourage our principals to stand firmly together and fight off any attempt, explicit and or veiled by any person to divide them,” the statement reads.
Mulu said a Raila-Kalonzo ticket would mean ‘doing the same thing the same way and expecting a different result.”
“What our people are saying is that they don’t have anything personal against Raila, but what they are saying is they have supported Raila two times but nothing has happened,” Mulu said.
Kalonzo was Raila’s running mate in both the 2013 and 2017 General Elections.
Raila lost the two elections to President Uhuru Kenyatta.

Kwani these Kambas are so green they don't know 2013 and 2017 were stolen?
-
No evidence has been adduced of any stolen votes.
Now why are Ukambani leaders jumping like frogs in daytime? Has Kalonzo accepted to be Raila DPORK? Or they are trying to also get out of OKA

Many questions. Their threats would have made sense if they were not running or if they were 100pc assured of retaining their posts. At a time they will also be campaigning, they cannot be calling the pot black. Empty debes.

Kalonzo is broke. He cannot run for PORK with Muthama or Kilonzo late or Muthoka money. I think he is probably thinking of going for DPORK under Raila or taking 30 percent Majority Leader in Ruto team.

If a toad does not run in daylight for nothing, why is your friend running for president?

You mean Ruto - Ruto has been in the run for PORK ever since Moi took him to Japan as CU student leader. Blame Moi for re-awakening a monster - otherwise Ruto would be Prophet Owour biggest competitor.
Ruto has meticoulsy plan his run from 1992 - he aint going to miss it.
I really pity Jakom - because he will be EMBARRASED. It wont be close.
It's look like 65 percent for Ruto. 20 percent for Raila and 10 percent for MaDVD. 5 percent others.
In fact at this point 2022 is academic really - it's Uhuru to just fold camp - and say Ruto tosha - and Chebukati to hand him the certificate.
