Wiper party endorses Kalonzo Musyoka as 2027 presidential candidate
The Wiper Democratic Movement party’s
National Executive Committee (NEC) has pledged to rally behind its leader
Kalonzo Musyoka as the 2027 presidential candidate.
Led
by the party’s Secretary General Shakila Abdala and Matungulu MP Stephen Mule,
the faction expressed confidence that Musyoka’s fellow Azimio la Umoja One
Kenya co-principals will back his candidature.
“Msimamo
wetu uko na Azimio na Kenya yote…most importantly is that Kenyans have endorsed
Dr Kalonzo Musyoka. Watch this space…100% of hustlers are speaking to Kalonzo
Musyoka,” Mule said.
Citing
the risen cost of living, the party also threatened to go to the streets or
push to lawfully impeach the current regime should the National Dialogue
Committee (NADCO) co-chaired by Musyoka fail to factor in how the high cost of
living will be tackled.
The
MPs, who addressed the press after the party's NEC meeting on Tuesday, vowed to
put the Kenya Kwanza administration on its toes to heed the plea of Kenyans.
“If
the cost of living for Kenyans will not go down, then the bipartisan talks will
not go anywhere. There are other issues but our priority is the cost of living.
Kenyans are hurting…prices have risen…and we can’t afford to suffer for the
next three years,” Abdalla said.
“Ata
kama ni kwa streets ama impeachment, we will go. We have a Constitution which
is very clear and gives the mwananchi the powers to do whatever they can to
ensure their lives are in control. For one year we have had enough and we
cannot continue that way for the next four years.”
This
comes as Treasury Cabinet Secretary Prof. Njuguna Ndung’u is on Wedbnesday set
to appear before the dialogue committee to help them unlock the cost of living
impasse.
