On Friday, Raila named Kalonzo as his successor by Makueni Governor Prof Kivutha Kibwana during NASA’s People’s Assembly rally in Machakos County.
“Professor Kibwana, we are still in hot pursuit of our antelope that was stolen from us by Uhuru and Ruto in the August 8 polls. The 2022 antelope will be captured by Kalonzo and will slaughter for Kenyans to eat and he has our full backing,” Raila said.
Led by Khwisero MP Christopher Aseka and his Lugari counterpart Ayub Savula, the lawmakers said in the run up to the August 8 General Elections that NASA affiliate parties did not enter into such an agreement.
“We did not enter into an agreement of supporting Kalonzo candidature in 2022 since we will be fronting Musalia Mudavadi as NASA presidential candidate,” Aseka said.
“Mudavadi is the brain child of NASA and we cannot allow to be shortchanged this time round. Mudavadi is a man whose time to marry has come and he will marry the Presidency. We cannot postpone the marriage,” he said.
The lawmakers said that in 2022 it was time for ANC leader Musalia Mudavadi to vie.
