Kalonzo Musyoka is one of the most respected leaders in the country.
He is among politicians with the most followers in the country.
The Kamba political kingpin is also the Wiper party leader and a former Kenya's Vice President.
In 2007, Kalonzo surprised many Kenyans by putting aside his ambitions of being president and forming a government with President Mwai Kibaki.
Most Kenyans were shocked by Kalonzo's move, they wondered how the two political enemies could jointly form a government.
Revealing how he secured the Vice President position, Kalonzo said his decision to accept Narendra Raval Guru's dinner at his home secured him the post.
The Wiper leader said he went for a dinner at Narendra Raval Guru's home at Runda estate in Nairobi where he was later accompanied with President Mwai Kibaki together with his adviser and strategist Stanley Murage.
The unexpected scene left Kibaki speechless since he had promised to work with Kalonzo if he won the elections.
In what was a tight contest, Kibaki was announced the winner but his closest rival ODM leader Raila Odinga denied the results leading to violence.
Kibaki's allies approached David Musila who later went to Kalonzo at his Karen home.
After a conversation with him, he formed a small team that comprised of David Musila, Samuel Poghisio, the party chairman and Johnstone Muthama to go and meet with Kibaki's team and seal the deal.
The two teams met at the Harambee House hall and reached an agreement.
Kalonzo was then named as the 10th Vice President of Kenya.
Most of his political allies were also given ministerial positions in the same government.
