Kalonzo to United Opposition: Abandon united front and you will be punished

Kalonzo Musyoka, leader of the Wiper Patriotic Front party, issued a stern warning to opposition leaders against abandoning their political alliance or joining the Kenya Kwanza administration. He stated that such a move would betray Kenyans who are seeking change ahead of the 2027 General Election. Musyoka urged opposition leaders to remain united and avoid pursuing individual political interests, likening leaders who abandon the opposition to Lot's wife in the Bible, who was turned into a pillar of salt for looking back despite being warned not to.

He assured his colleagues in the opposition, led by Rigathi Gachagua, Martha Karua, Fred Matiang'i, Eugene Wamalwa, Edwin Sifuna, James Orengo, Babu Owino, and Justin Muturi, of their unity and agreement. Musyoka warned that anyone who decided to betray the alliance would face severe consequences. He also called on opposition leaders to strengthen their presence on the Coast and across the country as they prepare for the next poll, emphasizing the need to unite the country and oust the current administration.
