Kalonzo Takes Ukombozi Alliance Campaign to Homa Bay After Migori Tour

NAIROBI, Kenya – Wiper Patriotic Front leader Kalonzo Musyoka is intensifying his political outreach in the South Nyanza region following a tour of Migori County on Thursday. Scheduled to continue on Friday, the Ukombozi Alliance campaign aims to bolster his support in Nyanza, a traditionally ODM stronghold, as opposition leaders strategize ahead of the 2027 General Election.

During the Migori leg, Musyoka addressed residents in Sori, advocating for unity and promoting his vision for national transformation, drawing parallels to the political legacy of late Prime Minister Raila Odinga. His planned visit to Homa Bay on Friday, including stops in Oyugis and Kendu Bay, also includes a stop at the mausoleum of independence hero Tom Mboya on Rusinga Island.

Although his tour faced disruption in Migori when suspected attackers targeted the opposition convoy with stones, Musyoka emphasized that this setback would not impede his efforts to connect with Kenyan voters. As opposition parties navigate unity, leadership, and the quest for a strong presidential contender to challenge President William Ruto in the 2027 election, Musyoka's engagements in the South Nyanza region serve as a pivotal opportunity to gauge his political resonance beyond his existing base.
