Speaking on Saturday in Matinyani during a campaign rally for Wiper’s candidate Edith Nyenze, Kalonzo said that he and Raila have no difference. 

The Ukambani political kingpin also said that Raila had referred to him as a watermelon before the 2007 elections but he has nothing against him.

 “Shortly before the 2013 General Election, elders asked me whether I had any issues with Raila. I said, ‘No, I have no issues with him…’ only that he had insulted me by calling me a watermelon," he said.

He also dismissed claims that Raila had left NASA to join the ruling side, Jubilee. 

“We have invested a lot in NASA, we cannot allow NASA to die, I am the glue that holds NASA together,” declared Kalonzo.

Kalonzo reiterated that he supports the truce between President Uhuru Kenyatta and Raila.

The remarks come at a time there have been speculations of a split in the alliance following the surprise meeting between Uhuru and Raila.
