Kalonzo Musyoka is one of the amazing political leaders in the country.
He is one of the NASA co-principles and Wiper party leader.
Kalonzo is also a former Vice President.
He is a man who has invested most of his time in politics.
Kalonzo joined politics in 1983 when he contested for the Kitui North parliamentary seat.
He convinced the electorates using his education, a strength that gave him more hopes towards clinching the then hotly contested seat.
To Kalonzo's surprise, the little-known man with little education won the race with more than 15,000 votes compared to his.
The man he said to have come from his mother’s clan “the Akitondo” was defending his parliamentary seat.
Kalonzo Musyoka said Manundu had little knowledge as compared to his.
He had obtained a Bachelors Degree in Law from the University of Nairobi by that time.
Kalonzo thought education is everything and if you have more papers than your competitors, automatically you have the upper hand.
Losing the seat didn’t shake his ambition of representing his people in parliament.
He accepted the defeat and focused on the next general election.
In 1985, there was a by-election in the constituency following the then MP Philip Manundu's death.
Kalonzo successfully won the seat.
