If Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka and former Internal Security Minister Fred Matiang’i will not change their political strategies, they may jeopardize their chance to defeat Ruto in the 2027 general election.
The two’s biggest mistakes in failing to encourage voter registration in their fortresses indicate that they have not taken steps to gain adequate support for their presidential campaigns.
While planning to face Ruto, who longs for the second term, analysts say that Kalonzo and Matiang’i have not properly involved the Gen Z generations in the ongoing voter registration exercise.
“Kenyans want an emotional relationship with the story they can understand, not just a professional profile. Said political analyst Gitile Naituli.
Naituli added that although Kalonzo’s humility and integrity have contributed to his political stability, it has also been his weaknesses.
“His tendency to wait for approval instead of taking action is now a barrier. He is affected by a reluctant image. In politics, the image is real. he added.
Wiper members are expected to approve Kalonzo on Friday, October 10, to run for the presidency in what will be his second and most important attempt to reach the White House.
According to the newspaper, Kalonzo is the one who appears to be the most favored candidate to fly the opposition flag after Matiang’i “to be avoided” from the opposition.
Sources revealed that former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has a preference for Kalonzo and is ready to mobilize more than five million Mount Kenya voters to vote for him.
However, the Gachagua team has insisted that Kalonzo’s running mate must leave the voter area.
