Kitui Senator and Senate Deputy Minority Leader Enoch Wambua has dismissed circulating claims that Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka held discussions with President William Ruto concerning a political alliance for the 2027 General Election.
Speaking in Nairobi, Wambua labelled the reports as false and a deliberate attempt to sow discord within the opposition coalition.
Key points from Wambua's statement:
- No meeting or talks have taken place between Kalonzo and President Ruto regarding cooperation in the upcoming elections.
- The claims are part of a misinformation campaign aimed at weakening the united opposition front.
- Wambua was with Kalonzo on the day the alleged meeting was said to have occurred, attending official engagements together.
- The video circulating online purportedly showing a meeting was taken out of context; it actually captured Kalonzo presenting a report to President Ruto in his role as co-chair of the National Dialogue Committee on March 4, 2024.
- Kalonzo remains committed to uniting opposition leaders behind a single presidential candidate to challenge President Ruto in 2027.
- During the Wiper National Delegates Conference in October 2025, Kalonzo was unanimously endorsed as the party's presidential candidate and tasked with forging a united opposition.
Wambua urged Kenyans, Wiper supporters, and opposition figures to disregard the false reports, emphasizing that efforts to destabilize the opposition coalition will not succeed.
