The Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka took Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Coalition campaigns to Tala in Machakos County on Friday.


Kalonzo drummed support for the Azimio coalition presidential candidate Raila Odinga.

He said he will traverse the country popularising Raila’s presidential bid and their Azimio coalition outfit.

The former vice president said he reached the decision to endorse Raila after in-depth consultation with both religious and political leaders from across the country.

He urged the locals to vote for Raila in the August election assuring them that this time he will win the election.

Kalonzo reminded the residents of Tala that they worked together with Raila in the 2013 and 2017 elections but were denied their victory.


However, he expressed his confidence in their team winning the election and that they will work together with Raila to liberate the country.

"If Raila and Kalonzo's votes added to that from Mt Kenya region we will win. We finished the August 9 maths on Thursday," Kalonzo said.

He told the Kamba community not to be angry with his decision to back Raila especially after announcing his presidential bid and appealed to them to Vote for Raila because voting for Raila would be voting for him too.

"I will work with Raila Odinga until we liberate this country. If you vote Raila again, you shall have voted me. So, don't deny him votes, I know some were angry when we differed with Raila on his running mate."

Kalonzo also told the people of Ukambani that he reflected on the matter for a week and saw the possibility of the country going to ruins if conmen took over leadership and the future of the children will be destroyed as well.


"I reflected on the matter for a whole week. I  saw the possibility of my country heading in the wrong direction if it is taken by conmen. I saw it being destroyed together with the future lives of our children," Kalonzo said.

This was Kalonzo’s maiden political rally in Tala after his re-entry into the Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Coalition.
