In a bold move that has sent shockwaves through Kenya’s political landscape, Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka has declared his intention to challenge President William Ruto in the upcoming 2027 general elections.
Addressing a crowd in Nanyuki, Laikipia County, Kalonzo strategically positioned the Mount Kenya region as a pivotal player in the race for the presidency. With unwavering confidence, he emphasized the importance of the region, home to the influential GEMA communities, in shaping the country’s political trajectory.
Pointing fingers at President Ruto, Kalonzo accused him of violating the constitution by allegedly condoning youth abductions, extrajudicial killings, and suppressing freedom of speech. These actions, according to Kalonzo, have eroded public trust in the government and fueled his determination to bring about much-needed change.

To solidify his presence in Mount Kenya, Kalonzo inaugurated new Wiper Party offices in Nanyuki, marking a strategic move towards establishing a stronghold in the region. Furthermore, he highlighted his alliance with former impeached Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua and leaders from Western Kenya, showcasing a united front ready to take on Ruto’s leadership.
