Raila U-Turn On Endorsing Kalonzo for 2027

Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga has denied reports circulating online that he endorsed Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka as Azimio Coalition’s Presidential flagbearer in the 2027 General Election.

In a statement issued by his Personal Assistant Dennis Onyango, the former Presidential contestant indicated that it was too early to endorse a flag bearer.

He further explained that his praise of the Wiper leader during the celebration of Oburu Odinga’s birthday was only to affirm the past support Kalonzo accorded the coalition.

“Odinga therefore clarifies that his praise for H.E. Kalonzo Musyoka for standing with him in three successive elections, the Wiper leader’s strong Christian values and the support Mr. Musyoka has built across the country was not an endorsement of Mr. Musyoka as the Azimio presidential candidate in 2027,”  read the statement in part.
