Former Machakos Senator Johnson Muthama has asked Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka to be bold and seek President Uhuru Kenyatta’s endorsement for his 2022 presidential bid.
Muthama said Kalonzo has to come out of his political comfort zone and reach out to Uhuru for endorsement.
According to the former senator, Kalonzo needs to reach out to politicians who will support his presidential bid in 2022.
The ex Machakos senator said Kalonzo has what it takes to succeed Uhuru but needs support from other leaders.
“The presidential election is about numbers and I urge him (Kalonzo) to be bold enough and ask Uhuru to endorse his candidature,” he said during an interview with local radio station on Friday.
Muthama said Kenyans will vote for Kalonzo if he gets enough endorsements and backing from other politicians.
“He (Kalonzo) cannot count on Kamba votes alone, he must reach out to others,” he added.
Muthama said that they will do everything to ensure Kalonzo ascends to power in 2022, adding that the former Vice President will deliver if given the chance.
Muthama also revealed that as Wiper Party, they are not banking on NASA to endorse Kalonzo's 2022 bid.
He, however, said Kalonzo will contest in 2022 whether NASA supports his bid or not.
Kalonzo is among top politicians who have declared interest in the 2022 presidential election.
Kalonzo said his bid is unstoppable, adding that he will not be swayed to be someone’s running mate.
