Kalonzo Joins Presidential Race, Picks Running Mate

Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka has embarked in the state house race after ditching the Azimio La Umoja One Kenya Alliance. The Ukambani leader has also gone ahead and named Andrew Leteipa Ole Sunkuli as his running mate in the upcoming August presidential election.

Kalonzo’s move comes after he defected from the Azimio-One Kenya coalition when he missed out on the coalition’s party running mate slot.

 Kalonzo says that he was shortchanged in the Azimio alliance where he wished to be appointed as running mate.

“My brother Raila knows I am naming my running mate. He came to my house to try and convince me to accept his choice. We did not agree and he said he would choose Martha and I told him I would choose my own running mate,” he said.

“My honest opinion is that OKA continues as originally established and we move on, compare notes. We have business to save this nation,” said Kalonzo.

Nonetheless, Kalonzo was appointed as the Chief Minister in Raila Odinga’s cabinet should the Azimio brigade clinch top come August.
