A group of leaders from Ukambani have withdrawn their support for Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka.
The leaders have dismissed Kalonzo's 2022 presidential bid.
The Ukambani Youth Forum maintained that it was clear the National Super Alliance(NASA) principal would not be endorsed by coalition leader Raila Odinga.
“As young people, the major part of our lives is ahead of us. To rely on Kalonzo, yetwe know he cannot go beyond where he is currently, is to give up on our lives. We are not ready for this," chairman VincentLuka stated.
Luka stated that the Wiper leader had no chance of forming an alliance.
"How can one become President without the support of other communities?” the chairman asked in Machakos town, wherehe spoke on behalf of youth leaders from Machakos, Makueni and Kitui Counties.
The youth also dismissed resolutions at a Wiper leadership meeting in Athi River, Mavoko Sub-County due to lack of inclusivity.
“Young people make over 80 percent of our voting population yet in that meeting, only those hired to carry out menial jobswere involved. It is our feeling that majority of those present are either directly or indirectly responsible for the sufferingand poverty being witnessed in Ukambani today," the chairman stated.
