Kalonzo warns Sifuna against early presidential declaration, calls for consultations

Kalonzo was booed by sections of the crowd during the unveiling of the Linda Mwananchi Movement's national headquarters in Nairobi after cautioning Senator Edwin Sifuna against declaring himself the Opposition's presidential candidate before consultations and the formal ratification of the party's leadership structures.

Kalonzo insisted that the process of identifying the Opposition's flag bearer must follow the proper procedures, noting that consultations were still ongoing.

He made the remarks after correcting his DAP-K counterpart, Eugene Wamalwa, who had appeared to endorse Sifuna's presidential ambitions, telling the crowd that the Senator would first have to wait for the party's National Delegates Convention scheduled for November 13.
