Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka has said he will not beg anyone to support his 2022 presidential bid.
Speaking on Friday during the burial of David Makumbi, father of Machakos Woman Rep Joyce Kamene Kasimbi, Kalonzo said such a move is a show of weakness.
“We do not want to appear like we are begging people all the time; you can’t beg for leadership; power is not granted, but seized. You would look very weak if you start crying that it is your turn to be endorsed,” said Kalonzo as quoted by K24.
Musyoka maintains that he will fight for a place in State House despite an alleged Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between him and Orange Democratic Movement party leader Raila Odinga concerning the 2022 presidential canditure.
“This is a political warfare, power has to be grabbed; you must have a conviction why you want to be in power," he added.
The Wiper Democratic Movement party leader is likely to face stiff competition from Deputy President William Ruto and Odinga.
However, Odinga has distanced himself from reports linking him to the 2022 race.
Others who have announced interest in the top seat are Musalia Mudavadi and Governor Alfred Mutua.
