President Uhuru Kenyatta now wants former Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka to team up with Jubilee and plan for 2022 elections.
Kalonzo is deputizing opposition leader Raila Odinga for the second consecutive elections after the duo lost to Jubilee in 2013.
During his Makueni tour on Saturday, Uhuru said Kalonzo’s chances would be revived if he works with DP William Ruto in 2022.
“I am telling Kalonzo that his political future is doomed in NASA. He cannot be given chance to grow and time has come for him to quit,” he said.
“It will be even better if he teams with us and prepares to deputize Rut in 2022. He should not play guess work games,” Kenyatta further said.
In a number of political functions, Kalonzo has before accused Jubilee leadership of trying to bribe him to ditch NASA coalition.
Threatened by a dozen of Wiper MPs, Kalonzo is facing an uphill task to deliver from a region considered to be his stronghold.
