Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Myayoka's last week hint that his party plans to re-brand to One Kenya Movement (OKM) could be a signal of his intention to divorce from the National Super Alliance (NASA), political analyst Peter Ngure has said.
Ngure observes that Kalonzo's hint on forming OKM could be clever move to quit the Raila Odinga led coalition that is on the verge of collapsing.
In an interview on Sunday, Ngure said that Kalonzo might have sensed that the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) he signed with Raila under NASA will not be honored.
He said that the Wiper party leader will be a step ahead if he re-brands to OKM.
"Kalonzo is a strategist and his plan to re-brand Wiper to OKM will work on his advantage ahead of 2022," he said.
The analyst said that Kalonzo's new outfit is likely to attract potential politicians who will catapult Kalonzo to presidency in 2022.
Ngure said that Kalonzo's tactics for presidency in 2022 seems to be working, adding that the former Vice President has given up on Raila.
"Kalonzo is the type of politicians who does there things silently and cannot be ruled out or dismissed out of the presidential seat in 2022," he said.
Ngure revealed that Kalonzo could end up working with Deputy President William Ruto in 2022.
He said that the two have a histroy and there chances of working together are high.
Last week, Kalonzo hinted on Wiper re-brading ahead of 2022.
He said that the country needs a movement that will push for liberation.
The Wiper Party leader has been under pressure to quit NASA on grounds that Raila will not honour the MoU they signed in 2017.
The future of NASA now hangs on the balance after Ford Kenya Party leader Moses Wetangula publicly announced that he has divorced from the Alliance.
Political analysts argue that NASA died when President Uhuru Kenyatta met Raila Odinga and agreed to unite the country a month ago
