The Azimio leader's apology comes after a number of goons stormed the venue of the coalition's meeting on Wednesday at the Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Foundation before roughing up the attendees.
Chaos ensued when Kalonzo stood up and started presenting the resolutions of the meeting after announcing that Raila had excused himself from the event.
The goons stormed the venue amid his speech and started throwing away chairs while ordering everyone to leave, forcing the Wiper leader to stop his press conference.
As a result, the meeting's participants scampered for safety.
