Former Vice President Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka’s Wiper party has embarked on internal restructuring to fix the political cracks that the political outfit suffered before, during and after the August General elections as he seeks to ascend to power in 2022.
Under the new plan, Makueni Governor Kivutha Kibwana, who is the new national chairman and acting party leader, has started reaching out to leaders from Ukambani to ensure they are united to take Former Vice President Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka to State House when that time comes.
Kibwana’s is expected to ratify a post-election coalition agreement with Kitui Charity Ngilu’s Narc Party, in order to ensure that the Kamba nation speaks in Governor one voice. Kibwana is also expected to represent Kalonzo in the discussions of the National Super Alliance (NASA) meetings involving its affiliate parties.
The allies of Ukambani political kingpin are determined to ensure that Kalonzo is not shortchanged when that time comes.
Speaking during the burial of Kitui West MP Francis Nyenze, Kibwana said that the party is ready to consider working with other political outfits until Kalonzo makes his way to power.
“Wiper party is on the dance floor seeking potential suitors. We haven’t abandoned our political ambitions and we’ll continue preparing for the next elections,” he said, as quoted by Daily Nation.
Wiper executive director Jared Siso said that the agreement with Ngilu will boost Kalonzo’s presidential bid.
“We have signed a preliminary agreement. The broader aspects of the deal are being worked on because the parties are in NASA and both Mr. Musyoka and Mrs. Ngilu are national leaders,” he said.
