Yatta MP Francis Mwangangi has urged Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (Cord) leaders to endorse Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka for Presidency during the upcoming general polls or forget the support of Ukambani.
Speaking to the Star, Mwangangi said that the opposition should not expect the support of voters from this part of the nation if it is going to pick another flagbearer other than Kalonzo to battle it out with President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Deputy William Ruto.
“I highly doubt that the community is ready to back someone else other than Kalonzo. If they really care about the region’s vote, let them make no mistake. It is as simple as having Kalonzo or else we are out,” Mwangangi told the Star.
He further claimed that Kalonzo is the only politician who has what it takes to smoke UhuRuto from office when that time comes.
“The only man Jubilee is scared of is Kalonzo. This man is known internationally as a peacemaker and he has a national appeal of a man who is not tribal,” he added.
Many leaders from different corners of the nation have been calling upon Cord leader Raila Odinga and ANC leader Musalia Mudavadi to pave way for Kalonzo.
