A section of politicians from Ukambani has formed a splinter group with the aim of pushing for former Vice President Stephen Kalonzo’s endorsement as National Super Alliance (NASA) flag bearer.
The three MPs Peter Mathuki (Eala), Patrick Makau( Mavoko) and Robert Mbui (Kathania) unveiled Wiper express with the aim of ensuring that Kalonzo is given an opportunity by leaders from the opposition to battle it out with President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Deputy William Ruto.
According to the leaders, Kalonzo is the best candidate NASA can front to dethrone Jubilee from power during the upcoming general elections.
Under Wiper Express, the leaders have affirmed that they will do everything within their means to ensure that Kalonzo is on the ballot box in the forthcoming general polls.
Addressing a rally in Mavoko stadium, Athi River town on Saturday, the leaders said that its Kalonzo’s turn to vie for the nation’s top seat.
"Wiper express is a team to push Kalonzo to State House. The Wiper leader must be given the opportunity to be NASA’s torchbearer," Mavoko MP Patrick Makau said, as quoted by Star.
On his party, Eala's Peter Mathuki said that Wiper leaders are not going to bolt out of NASA adding that cord leader Raila Amolo Odinga, Ford Kenya Moses Wetangula and ANC leader Musalia Mudavadi should pave way for Kalonzo to go for Presidency.
Kathiani MP Robert Mbui backed their sentiments while urging residents to join Wiper.
