Former Azimio leader Raila Odinga's chief agent Saitabao Ole Kanchory has called on Kenyans to consider a Kalonzo Musyoka presidency in the next General Election.
In an update on social media platform X on Thursday, September 19, the lawyer painted Kalonzo as a loyal and principled person.
To put across his point, Kanchory pointed out Kalonzo's decision to turn down cabinet slots purportedly offered to him by the government and standing with Raila three times.
The lawyer noted that he was confident Kalonzo would make a good president, further likening him to late Retired President Mwai Kibaki.
"Let's never forget that he was offered cabinet slots and asked to name his price but when it mattered the most, Kalonzo chose to stand with the young people of Kenya. He stood with Raila three times and never sold out.

"I have my issues with Kalonzo but he's still way safer than some of the names being tossed about. We can make Kalonzo the president we want. We don't need another strongman or one-man show. A weak president like Kibaki is what we need," Kanchory wrote on X.
Kalonzo has consistently expressed his opposition to supporting President William Ruto's administration.
The Wiper leader has articulated that joining Ruto's government would be a betrayal to the Kenyan people, particularly to the youth who have been vocal against the current regime.
Kalonzo has stated that Azimio will not participate in the proposed broad-based government led by Ruto, labeling it a betrayal of their coalition's values and the citizens' aspirations for good governance.
He emphasized that any party member who decides to join Ruto's government would do so as an individual and not on behalf of Azimio.
“We shall not participate in or support the proposed Kenya Kwanza-led broad-based government of national unity. This is a betrayal of the Kenyan people, particularly Gen Z and millennials, who have paid the ultimate price
“We reiterate our public position, that when it comes to siding with Gen Z and the Kenyan people versus the Kenya Kwanza regime, the decision is as obvious as day and night. We will always side and stand with the people of Kenya," Kalonzo said on Friday, July 19.
