Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka has urged Kenya's fourth president, Uhuru Kenyatta, to refrain from engaging in the political conflict with President William Ruto, pledging to face Ruto directly in the upcoming 2027 general election. During his visit to Kakuyuni on August 14, 2026, Kalonzo advised Uhuru to stay on the sidelines to safeguard his legacy amid the intensifying political battle leading up to the 2027 polls.
Calming tensions, he proposed that Uhuru refrain from blaming Ruto for the nation's challenges and instead focus his criticism on him. Describing Ruto as a well-known political figure, Kalonzo recalled their past interactions and relationship. He also defended Uhuru's contributions to Kenya's political history, highlighting his role supporting local initiatives during the post-2007-08 post-election violence.
Kalonzo accused the current administration of unprecedented corruption, asserting that Ruto would serve only one term. During his campaign, he announced plans to appoint former Cabinet Secretary Aisha Jumwa as deputy party leader, citing her extensive political experience.
