In a fiery political twist that’s sure to rattle Kenya Kwanza’s foundations, Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has issued a bold plea to Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka — urging him to abandon the opposition and join President Ruto’s government, branding him a more reliable ally than Rigathi Gachagua.
Speaking during a heated address in Machakos County, Kindiki didn’t hold back. “Kalonzo is a statesman. A man of peace. Unlike Gachagua, whose politics breed division and selfishness,” he declared, drawing gasps from the crowd.
“If you allow me, I’ll personally go fetch my elder brother Kalonzo,” Kindiki added. “Between Gachagua and I, who truly respects him?”
His remarks come just days after Labour CS Alfred Mutua publicly urged Kalonzo to switch sides, claiming he’s “playing small” by clinging to the opposition. The growing chorus of voices appealing to Kalonzo reflects a strategic push to reshape the political battlefield ahead of the 2027 general election.
Kindiki painted a picture of unity, inclusion, and national healing — portraying Kalonzo as the missing piece in a coalition struggling with internal rifts.
“We don’t need leaders who fan the flames of ethnic tension,” Kindiki said. “We need builders. Patriots. Leaders who inspire hope — not chaos.”
He took the opportunity to blast Gachagua’s tenure, accusing the former Deputy President of undermining national cohesion and engaging in political brinkmanship that’s tearing the country apart.

“This government needs stability, not showdowns. We can’t afford political games while Kenyans cry for solutions,” Kindiki warned.
Meanwhile, Kalonzo Musyoka has remained defiant in his role as a watchdog. In July 2024, he firmly rejected overtures from Kenya Kwanza, stating: “I have no intention of joining this government. We can all see what’s happening.”
Kalonzo’s refusal is rooted in a commitment to hold Ruto’s administration accountable, citing concerns over governance, transparency, and service delivery.
As tensions simmer within the ruling camp, Kindiki has also taken a sharp aim at Gachagua’s recent remarks, accusing him of stoking tribal politics and sowing discord across Mt. Kenya and beyond.
“We’ll build Kenya through sweat, sacrifice, and unity — not through noise, blame, or ethnic division,” Kindiki declared. “We have only one home: this nation. And we must protect it together.”
He reaffirmed Kenya Kwanza’s promise to deliver on its pledges, insisting that no government can fix everything overnight — but theirs is on the right track.
“This administration won’t let you down. We’re here to work, not fight,” he said. “Let every Kenyan feel at home.”
Kindiki wrapped up by urging leaders with grievances to voice them with diplomacy and dialogue — not destructive politics.
“Let’s solve our issues with love, understanding, and respect — not hostility,” he concluded.
With the 2027 race looming, alliances are shifting, tensions are rising, and the political chessboard is resetting. Kenya is bracing for a showdown.
