Kalonzo Calls for Opposition Unity, Says Kenyans Want Leaders to Put Country First
Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka has renewed his appeal for unity among opposition leaders, urging them to set aside personal political ambitions and prioritise the interests of the country.
Kalonzo said Kenyans were increasingly demanding a united opposition, arguing that the growing support for the Wantam movement reflected public sentiment and the desire for political change ahead of the 2027 General Election.
He reaffirmed his commitment to continued consultations with fellow opposition principals, maintaining that cooperation among the leaders would be essential in building a common political front.
The former Vice President also revisited the deaths of young people during the Gen Z-led protests, calling for accountability over the loss of lives and alleged violations of constitutional rights.
He condemned the use of excessive force against demonstrators, insisting that Kenyans have a constitutional right to assemble, demonstrate and express their political views peacefully.
Kalonzo’s latest remarks come amid renewed efforts by opposition leaders to strengthen their cooperation and resolve differences as they explore a common strategy ahead of the 2027 polls.
The unity push has featured prominently in recent engagements involving Kalonzo, former President Uhuru Kenyatta and other opposition figures, with leaders urging the formation of a united front.
