Makueni Governor Professor Kivutha Kibwana now wants Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka to approach Deputy President William Ruto and strike a partnership ahead of the 2022 general elections.
Kibwana says it is time for Kalonzo to open his eyes and reach out to people who will boost his chances of succeeding president Uhuru Kenyatta in 2022.
Speaking in Makueni town on Saturday, Kibwana said Kalonzo-Ruto partnership will easily win the 2022 presidential election.
He noted that both Kalonzo and DP Ruto are humble leaders raised from humble backgrounds.
"Kalonzo should get out and reach out to DP Ruto and convince him to back his 2022 bid," said the governor.
Kibwana stated that they will knock at every door as they sale Kalonzo's 2022 presidential bid insisting that the Wiper leader is fit to succeed president Uhuru Kenyatta in 2022.
He further said Kalonzo's political experience and diplomacy is what the country needs to achieve her development agenda.
The Makueni governor at the same time rubbished media claims that he is planning to abandon Kalonzo in favor of Jubilee.
He termed the speculation as malicious, saying that he is committed to ensuring Kalonzo ascends to power in 2022.
Kalonzo is among top politicians who have declared an interest in the 2022 presidential seat.
