Mombasa Wiper Party gubernatorial candidate Mike Sonko has asked Azimio presidential candidate Raila Odinga to name his party boss, Kalonzo Musyoka, as his running mate.
Speaking at a Wiper rally in Machakos County on Thursday, May 5, the former Nairobi governor said that the Azimio panel choosing Raila Odinga’s running mate should conclude the interviews and name Kalonzo for the position.
“Sisi tunataka heshima. Hio interview Raila amalize leo, aseme leo usiku Kalonzo ni next President of Kenya. Hatutaki story ingine,” Sonko told a charged crowd.
The former county boss said that Wiper was bringing shame by sharing private details in the process of choosing Raila’s deputy.
“Muache kumwaga mambo ya bedroom ya Azimio kila mahali. Ndio mnajiletea aibu nyinyi wenyewe, mnafnya wapinzani wa Kalonzo, wapinzani wetu wanaingingilia katikati,” Sonko stated.
Huis remarks came moments after KANU chairman Gideon Moi fronted Kalonzo’s name to the Azimio panel choosing Raila’s deputy.
"The Kenya National African Union (KANU) hereby proposes and submits the name of H.E HON STEPHEN KALONZO as its preferred candidate for the position of Deputy President in the forthcoming general elections," Senator Moi said.
He said that KANU considered the opinion and strongly believed that Kalonzo fit the bill and was the most suitable individual to deputize Raila.
