Kalonzo calls out his allies a day after being booed at Sifuna’s event

Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka reaffirmed his resolve to run for president in 2027, urging his supporters to remain united despite internal divisions. On Saturday, October 31, 2026, in Machakos, he noted that some allies had booed him during recent events, including the Linda Mwananchi Movement headquarters launch in Nairobi.

Kalonzo called on opposition leaders to maintain unity as they pursue the presidential race, dismissing pressure to step away from the opposition. He questioned the support he received from his own party members at the Nairobi event, emphasizing the need for collective effort to bolster his presidential bid. Reflecting on the situation, Kalonzo urged his supporters to organize and work together.

His comments followed an incident at the event where some attendees booed him after he raised concerns about Edwin Sifuna's presidential candidacy. Sifuna intervened to urge the audience to respect visiting opposition leaders, highlighting the growing tensions among opposition leaders ahead of the 2027 polls. Kalonzo remained committed to his presidential ambitions, criticizing some religious leaders for not speaking out against injustice and poor governance.

As opposition figures consider a united political front against President William Ruto, Kalonzo's focus will be on consolidating support within his own camp while navigating broader opposition strategy discussions.
