Kalonzo Musyoka and his advisors are resolutely opposed to joining President William Ruto’s Kenya Kwanza administration, fearing it would jeopardize his 2027 presidential ambitions.

Drawing lessons from Raila Odinga’s past alliances, particularly the 2018 handshake with President Uhuru Kenyatta, they believe such alliances can burden leaders with incumbency issues, as seen in Raila’s 2022 electoral challenges.
Kalonzo’s camp prefers to stay outside government, aiming to build his Azimio coalition from opposition strongholds.
They argue that maintaining this stance could secure support from Generation Zoomers in 2027, viewing a potential void in Raila’s leadership due to his international ambitions.
The Wiper Party, under Kalonzo’s leadership, remains steadfast against any dialogue or partnership with the Ruto administration, asserting their position firmly.
