Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka has waded into the preparation for the 2027 general elections.

Speaking on Wednesday in an interview, Kalonzo said that the 2027 elections will be defined by this year, 2024

“We must be very clear now. Let us go to the negotiating table and agree within our coalition,” he said on Spice FM.

Despite the 2027 talks, the Wiper leader stated that he would do anything on his part to sustain the unity of the Azimio coalition.

“A strong wiper, a strong Jubilee, a strong DAP-K, a strong ODM is a strong Azimio coalition,” Kalonzo added.

He said that as a coalition, Azimio was strategizing for the next general election.

On Tuesday, Kalonzo chaired the Wiper party’s National Executive Council meeting at the headquarters in Karen at a time when he revealed plans to go for the country’s top seat.

On Sunday, a section of Ukambani leaders urged Kalonzo to traverse the country and campaign for the presidency.

The politicians said the former vice-president is ripe for the country’s top job, insisting that 2027 will be his time.

The leaders said they will aggressively campaign for Kalonzo’s presidential bid.

Democratic Action Party of Kenya (DAP-K) party leader Eugene Wamalwa has declared interest in the presidential 2027 race.

Wamalwa on Saturday revealed that the only two positions he is yet to hold are Deputy President and President.

However, he noted that at his age, he still has time to hold the above positions.

“I believe I’m sufficiently prepared and experienced to lead this country and I have already been endorsed by my party for the presidency,” Wamalwa said during an interview on NTV

“I am in the process of preparing for my presidential beat.”

Wamalwa also highlighted that the DAP-K party is in the process of carrying out a membership recruitment drive to strengthen the party at the grassroots.

He said that the party will soon hold grassroots elections and will eventually have a national delegates meeting to ratify his presidential bid.

Looking back, the former CS explained that he had defied his dream of running for presidency since 2013 but has been biding his time serving this country in various key positions.
