Wiper leader and former vice president Kalonzo Musyoka has said the Machakos Senator Johnson Muthama is not part of the team chosen to pick Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (Cord) flag bearer as they look forward to unseating Uhuruto from power.
According to Kalonzo, there is a team formed to devise ways of picking the person who will run for Presidency on cord ticket and Muthama is not part of them.
“I don’t remember if Muthama is a core member of that team. We had Benson Makali of Kitui Central and party chairman David Musila. Muthama and Orengo are in the Cord management team and do not play a key role in the presidential nominations,” he said, as quoted by the Standard.
Ealier on, Orengo had said that Kalonzo remarks during his Makueni tour were blown out of proportion and he went on to say that the coalition will determine the flag bearer.
“It is not a matter that can be determined by one or two people. It will be decided finally by the coalition and I can assure you that the mechanisms to do that are in place,” he said.
Kalonzo remarks have made many political analysts to project fallout in Wiper Party before the next general elections.
