Who told them that Kalonzo wants to be anybody's deputy in 2022? Kalonzo will be vying for president in 2022," said Raila.Speaking when he received over 10 Jubilee defectors from Kiambu county to Nasa, Monday, the Opposition leader asked Jubilee leaders to concentrate on their campaigns and prepare to face his Nasa team.
