Former Makueni Governor Kivutha Kibwana has cautioned Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka over courting the Mt Kenya region ahead of the 2027 general election.
In a statement on Tuesday, July 30, Kibwana claimed that the former vice president was being misadvised by his inner circle.
The former governor wondered why Kalonzo was saying he was fighting tribalism as the Gen Zs yet he is courting the Mt Kenya region.
Kibwana observed that national ideology will triumph over tribal politics in the 2027 general election.
“Just my two cents, Kalonzo Musyoka your inner circle is misadvising you. How can you say you are fighting tribalism as the tribeless Gen Zs and then in the same breath state you are courting Mt Kenya? In 2027, national ideology will triumph over tribal politics,” said the former Makueni Governor.

This comes after Kalonzo launched a strategic move to unite the Kikuyu and Kamba communities ahead of the next general election.
Speaking on Friday at a church function in Othaya, Nyeri County Kalonzo pledged to engage with the Mt Kenya region leaders.
"We are building a strong team and we are inviting all leaders who want to change Kenya in real-time and in the right direction. Without fear of intimidation, I have just talked to Uhuru on the phone before coming to this place. Uhuru had forewarned you and we want such straightforward leaders,” said Kalonzo.
The Wiper leader also disclosed that he has been talking to Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
Kalonzo was accompanied by Jubilee Secretary General Jeremiah Kioni, Former Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu, and DAP-K leader Eugine Wamalwa.
