“I received a lot of calls from people asking, saying they heard me and Kalonzo being wanted by Ruto. Even Gachagua asked if Ruto was really looking for us. And he said we should not leave him behind. I would like to tell Gachagua that if Ruto calls us, we will tell him that Gachagua is our spokesperson. We will tell Ruto that if he is looking for us, he should go to Wamunyoro and talk to Gachagua,” he said.

At the same time, Wamalwa reaffirmed the opposition’s commitment to oust Ruto from power and reassured his supporters about their unity before 2027.

“Otherwise, we have decided to work together. We started this journey with Kalonzo two years ago, and Gachagua joined us earlier this year. We want to assure the people of Mount Kenya that we will not leave, whether he is looking for us or not. Our resolution is to bring him home in 2027,” he said.

Meanwhile, Kalonzo completely rejects any possibility of working with Ruto before the 2027 elections.

He dismissed claims by the media that he was being persuaded to join the Kenya Kwanza coalition, calling it a deliberate distraction aimed at inciting chaos within the opposition.
