Kalonzo Denies Claims That Wiper is in Coalition Talks with Ruto's UDA Party

Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka has dismissed claims that his party is in coalition talks with United Democratic Alliance (UDA), a party linked to Deputy President William Ruto.

Musyoka clarified that it is impossible for the two parties to work together because they do not share any political ideologies and principles.

He further stated that the Wiper party is a member of the One Kenya Alliance, which believes in the empowerment of devolution.

“The wheelbarrow people believe in the bottom-up economy whose result is the return of harambees and handout economy yet One Kenya Alliance believes in the empowerment of devolution by devolving five percent to the wards,” said Kalonzo.

Musyoka also insisted that he cannot have talks with Ruto as he will be facing him in the 2022 presidential race.  

He was speaking in Makueni during the burial of Wiper MCA Harris Ngui Musau, who died in a road accident last week.

Musyoka was responding to claims by Mavoko MP Patrick Makau that Wiper was seeking an alliance with UDA and Ruto ahead of the 2022 elections.
