Kibwana urges Kalonzo to drop presidential bid and back him

Makueni governor, Kivutha Kibwana, has challenged Wiper Party leader, Kalonzo Musyoka, to abandon his 2022 presidential bid.

The county chief now wants Kalonzo to back him for the country’s top seat or his Machakos counterpart, Alfred Mutua.

Speaking in Kawala village, Kibwana revealed plans are in the pipeline to send emissaries to the former Vice President to urge him reconsider his presidential ambition.

“We have stood with Mr Musyoka since 1993. Every time he contests the presidency or supports a coalition, he loses,” the county boss noted. 

“We shall dispatch a delegation of elders, women and youths to tell him our time to contest has come.”

However, unlike Kibwana, governor Mutua has openly declared his intent to run for presidency in the next general elections, even as the duo lead an Ukambani rebelion against Kalonzo.

The pair claim the Wiper leader has exhausted his political usefulness and should now hand over the leadership mantle.
