Wiper leader and former Vice president Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka has said he has no problem being Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (Cord) leader Raila Odinga’s running mate in 2017.
In an exclusive interview with The Standard, Kalonzo affirmed that he will support anyone chosen by the coalition to become the presidential candidate including Mr Odinga and Bungoma Senator Moses Wetangula.
“I have no problem if it is agreed that I am a running mate," he said.
"I have said it before that if Raila is the candidate I will support him, if it is Wetang’ula I will support him. I hope they can support my candidature this time round. This is the time for this country to try a strong Kalonzo candidature."
He, however, said that he will only support Raila or Wetangula if he is assured that they will trounce President Uhuru Kenyatta.
“I am not saying that this time he may not win but we must look at it. If we are going to end the same way we did then he cannot be the flag bearer. If I am the flag-bearer and the possibility is that I am going to lose, again I should not be the flag bearer,” he said, as quoted by The Standard.
