Wiper dismisses claims of Kalonzo government deal, reaffirms opposition commitment

Wiper Party has dismissed reports that its leader Kalonzo Musyoka is preparing to join President William Ruto’s government, insisting that the party remains committed to a united opposition ahead of the 2027 General Election

Wiper Party chairman Jamleck Kamau described the reports as propaganda, claiming they were being propagated by forces within the government to undermine Musyoka as opposition parties continue discussions on building a united political front.

Kamau said attempts to link the Wiper leader to the government were aimed at creating divisions within the opposition as parties and leaders negotiate the structure and leadership of a possible coalition ahead of the 2027 elections.

He also clarified Wiper’s engagement with Parliamentary Service Commission Chairperson Johnstone Muthama, saying he personally initiated discussions with the former politician.

“I am the one who initiated the talks with Johnstone Muthama. At no time has he met our party leader to persuade him to join the government. We have met twice, once at a hotel in Nairobi and again at my home,” Kamau said.
