Kalonzo's Wiper Party Seeks to Withdraw from Azimio La Umoja-One Kenya Coalition

The Wiper Democratic Movement Party has announced it will move to court on Monday seeking to exit the Azimio La Umoja-One Kenya coalition.

Makueni MP Dan Maanzo, one of the lawyers representing Wiper, said the party wants to withdraw from the coalition since talks to have Kalonzo Musyoka picked as Raila Odinga’s running mate have failed.

"The agreement of Azimio-OKA has legal issues. As wiper and its lawyers, we are approaching the High Court tomorrow seeking to impeach the agreement of Azimio-OKA and I believe the court is a court of justice and will guide the political parties correctly... and we are able to prove that the current agreement is illegal and unconstitutional. That will mean every party in Azimio-Oka will go its own way," Maanzo told journalists.

Maanzo says Musyoka shelved his presidential bid in favor of Odinga so that he would be on the ballot as the running mate, but the ODM party leader has demonstrated he is not ready to work with him.

"We had conducted a National Delegates Conference which authorized Kalonzo to run for president and also negotiate with like-minded parties to team up and form a coalition. But the only reason Kalonzo withdrew his presidential ambitions is so that he may run as a deputy of Raila. Now that it seems from the indications so far that Raila Odinga no longer wishes to work with Kalonzo and his party Wiper, it is clear that there will be no Raila Odinga without Kalonzo," Maanzo said. 

He added: “The only thing that can avert this is further negotiations and nothing much seems to come out of it. Raila seems very fixed in his quest against Kalonzo's deputy presidency.”

Odinga, who is giving his fifth stab at the presidency, is expected to unveil his running mate on Monday.

No court in the land can extricate you from a stupid agreement that you signed freely-knowingly- and willingly. Besides, as learned friends, you cannot claim ignorance of the content in the documents you signed without coercion.

Tell this fool the truth. He shouldn’t be allowed to run for the presidency. Kalonzo makes other politicians look stupid and out of touch with reality.

This simile man got a lot tad issues beside his confused head. He thinks the he is such a smooth operator to cause all kinds of chaos in Azimio. Go to hell kalonzo and shut your silly mouth.

It’s all about yourself Kalonzo. There are other 50 million Kenyans who are also fit to be VPs. Kenya will not die because you will not become one. Whomever called you a watermelon knew what kind of a character you are. A big brain with nothing in it but water? You just want to scuttle Azimio because you want to settle a political score against Raila. Why don’t you go straight to UDA and lick Ruto’s butt? He’s been waiting for you. Perhaps Gachagua will get out of the way for you.

Now you can go join your Mwizi Ruto like your other confused brother Mutua. You lack class and love for your country. Your stomach comes first in everything. You will never become the president of kenya.

Kalonzo is an unstable and jittery person who appears lost with no sense
of direction. I'm not surprised if Raila is jittery about working with him. In any case he's been previously a vice president and a running mate, how much more can he continue hanging on the coat tails of others if he's unable to raise himself beyond the deputy level? Time to dump him in the trash.

Has anyone closely looked at kalonzo and wondered who cursed him? These are the kind of leaders Kenyans do not want. Kalonzo will end up taking Kenyans into a dark volcanic hole. What a coward.

Calling Kalonzo barbaric names won't win Azimio anything. Humility is a virtue which RAO diehards lack sufficiently.

Let the bitch Kalonzo withdraw!!!. Nobody needs it. Kalonzo is most stupid bustard of all times. He cannot bring value to any party. I have more support in Coast than he has in the whole of Kenya. If I run for presidency in 2028 which I plan to please tell bitch Kalonzo NOT to approach me to run as my Deputy President. Kalonzo is a nuisance!!!. He is like a housefly in many ways. He waits for an expensive dinner plate to be ordered only to vomit on it and flies away. He is a useless Muthafucker that can only get satisfied when he fucks his own ass!!!

So they were willing to go along with the illegal and unconstitutional agreement if their guy was given veep position???

I just feel so sorry for kalonzo because he truly believes he is worth something while he is worthless. Kenya can’t have a president with such a low self esteem. Kalonzo is neither a leader nor a good follower. He does not see far enough to understand the importance of time.

He has a really bad ego problem burgled up by overt insecurities. I do not know who will vote for kalonzo to be his own president.

Kenyans will have such a difficult time respecting kalonzo for the queer decisions he often makes. This kind of a man cannot be trusted with the presidency.

To kalonzo, positions in government are a mere preserve of him and for himself. He is a man that nobody can count on in times of need. He is a huge whiner for the littlest things.

Not sure what the people of Ukambani see in kalonzo as their leader. He is a shameless type of a guy.

Poor Kalonzo. He look so small with small mind. Such a small mind. Useless mf. He actually think that he is very important. Please go play in the traffic and I hope an eighteen wheeler come by and run you over. Please go play in the traffic fool. Please! please!
