The former deputy president was welcomed by politicians his allies and supporters, who had camped at the airport from Thursday morning, August 21.
Did opposition leaders welcome Gachaea JKIA?
In particular, none of the chiefs in Gachagua’s wing were there to receive him.
The DCP leader is on the same side as the wiper leader Kalonzo MusyokaPeople’s Liberation Party (PLP) leader Martha Karua, Eugene Wamalwa of Dap-Kenya, and former Interior Minister Fred Matiang’i.
According to Senator Oketch, the absence of these leaders indicates the lack of approval of Gachagua’s political activities.
He specifically suggested Kalonzo, who suggested that it on his way to the central government.
According to Eddy, Kalonzo can be included in the government, leading to re -planning in the future.
“Kalonzo gives the lie to return home in large part; confirming that he has agreed to join a broader after several secret meetings. The amendment is approaching,” He said.
Is Kalonzo Musyoka interested in joining the government?
Even when the senator made his claim, Kalonzo has been strong in his intention to oppose the President William Ruto to leave office.
In recent days, the Wiper leader has been tasked with proving his commitment to opposition amid rumors that he may be joining the government.
Last month, during a series of series of empowerment, Deputy President Kithure Kindiki voted for Kalonzo, urging him to consider joining the Ruto camp.
In his remarks, the Deputy President suggested that Kalonzo’s political behavior is moderate compared to a war tactic that is often seen in opposition as Gachagua.
Kindiki expressed a willingness to hold a meeting with Kalonzo to discuss the possibility of cooperation.

Why can’t I work with Ruto – Kalonzo
However, Kalonzo quickly rejected the proposal, citing many reasons for refusing to be associated with the current administration.
Defending himself as an advocate for public interest, the former vice president referred to what he referred to as government limitations and his intense response to The procession Young people are the key to the key factors that contributed to his decision.
He emphasized his commitment to the opposition and expressed hope that he would be elected his presidential candidate to oppose Ruto in the 2027 elections.
With his consistent position being highlighted, many will be looking to see if he will maintain this position for a long time.
Kalonzo is committed to running for the presidency three times to favor the ODM leader Raila Odinga.
At the same time, Gachagua said he was ready to support any candidate from his fellow opposition.
However, he holds that he is the best one to deal with Ruto.
Will Kalonzo work with Raila?
The former vice president has also canceled to work again with Raila unless he offers to support him to oust Ruto.
Raila is currently working with Ruto under a broad government, a move that Kalonzo has repeatedly criticized and refers to as betrayal.
In his interview with TV 47 earlier this year, Kalonzo said Raila betrayed Kenyans on the day he joined the Ruto government.
He claimed that it would be difficult for Kenyans to trust the former prime minister, suggesting that it would be better for him to abandon the central government and support another candidate to oust Ruto 2027.
However, Raila has been open in his recent remarks that he will stand with Ruto after the next general election.
Kalonzo has supported Raila three times: in 2013 under the Union of Reform and Democracy (CORD), 2017 under the National Super Alliance (NASA) and 2022 union under the Union of Resolution One Party.
