Musyoka, who quit the coalition two weeks ago after losing the running mate position to Narc-Kenya leader Martha Karua, says he made the decision after extensive consultations with Wiper party officials.

"As a people, our true measure lies in our ability to discern when the nation is bigger than an individual. Therefore, after deep introspection, I have today deferred my dreams to run for the president of the Republic of Kenya in the forthcoming general elections," Musyoka announced on Thursday.

He also announced that he has accepted the Chief Minister position offered to him by the Azimio La Umoja-One Kenya coalition presidential flagbearer Raila Odinga while unveiling his running mate on May 16th.

“I have decided to accept with humility and appreciation my nomination as Chief Minister in the Azimio-One Kenya coalition.” 

He promised to rally his supporters behind Odinga and Karua, exuding confidence that the coalition will win the August 9th elections.

“It's not if we will win, but when we form the next government. I commit myself to the Azimio one Kenya campaign because our objective is winning,” Musyoka added.

Musyoka is scheduled to address a joint rally with Odinga and Karua at Mukuru kwa Njenga in Nairobi on Thursday afternoon.

    No one, I mean no one including hyenas want anything with Kalonzo. If Kalonzo were to be thrown in a dean of hyenas they wouldn't even eat him for the fear of being associated with him. He is a flipflopper of all times

    Call him anything but Kalonzo is counting some “clean”billions stolen from you(hungry/bongoinzi billionaire Kenyans).I like the alternative way kina Kalonzo,Musalia and wife bartering victim-Masika use to earn a living.La kusisitika ni kwamba hizi billion zote huimbiwa kwa waKenya.
