Kalonzo Musyoka, leader of the Wiper Patriotic Front (WPF) Party, expresses his willingness to set aside his presidential aspirations to support a united opposition candidate for the 2027 General Election.
During the burial of Mama Eunice Nyangari Gachagua in Nyeri County, Kalonzo emphasized the importance of unity, stating, “My word is my bond. Unity is not negotiable. The interests of Kenyans must come before our individual ambitions.”
He firmly rejected rumors about joining a broad-based government if not selected as the opposition candidate, asserting, “I will never join Ruto’s administration, regardless of the outcome of our consultations. Those speaking for me are voicing their own opinions.”
Kalonzo was accompanied by notable leaders such as DAP Kenya’s Eugene Wamalwa, Sen. Edwin Sifuna of the Linda Mwananchi Movement, Governor James Orengo of the Ukombozi Coalition, and Chief Justice Emeritus David Maraga. Together, they offered condolences to the Gachagua family and reaffirmed their commitment to a single opposition presidential candidate in 2027, vowing to make necessary personal and political sacrifices.
Kalonzo recalled supporting Gachagua during his impeachment and pledged to continue standing with him and the wider GEMA community.
