Leaders from Ukambani and other parts of the nation have been questioning whether former prime minister will pave way for Musyoka to contest for the presidency come 2022.
In 2013, Kalonzo and Raila agreed that the Ukambani political kingpin will vie for the nation’s top seat following a Memorandum of Understanding ( MoU) between Wiper and ODM.
During the naming of the NASA Presidential candidate, leaders from Wiper insisted that if Kalonzo is not named they will walk away from the alliance under the leadership of National Assembly Majority Leader Francis Nyenze.
Kalonzo has assured the leaders that Raila, who is contesting for the presidency for his fourth time won’t betray him. The lawmaker spoke in Ukambani during vote hunt mission alongside other politicians aligned to the Alliance.
“Without hiding anything from you, Raila Odinga will occupy the seat (presidency) for five years and we have agreed... in writing, not like the previous arrangement which was neither here nor there. Now it is clearly agreed that Raila will help Kenya transit to the next level and in 2022 it will be Kalonzo Musyoka and no other story," he said as quoted by Standard.
