Wiper Democratic Movement (WDM) party boss Kalonzo Musyoka has revealed what exactly it feels like to hold the nation's second highest office.
Kalonzo who served as retired President Mwai Kibaki's deputy between 2007 and 2013 has revealed that the job is tough, tiring and can be frustrating.
Speaking during a fundraiser at Kolait Catholic Sub-Parish in Teso South, Busia County on Sunday, Kalonzo said the job comes with endless battles and drama as people try to prevent the holder from ascending to the Presidency.
“When you hold that office, you are severely fought, pulled down, dragged all over and all other dangerous episodes just to bar you from inheriting the presidency," Kalonzo said as quoted by Citizen Digital.
Kalonzo who was the seat's 10th holder since independence has since hinted at vying for the presidency in 2022 polls.
Though hopeful to realize the dream, he said it comes with commitment stating that it is not guaranteed.
" I was the 10th Vice President, but we have had only four presidents. Being a Vice President or Deputy President is really a slippery business,” Kalonzo said.
Kalonzo who was accompanied by Busia Governor Sospeter Ojaamong and Devolution Cabinet Secretary Eugine Wamalwa said he is open for consultations and possible alliances.
He is likely to vie on the Jubilee Party ticket.
