Ditch Raila Now, Prepare for 2027 - Kalonzo Advised

Campbell Munyambu - He wants Kalonzo to ditch Raila

Kalonzo Must De-link himself from Raila 

A passionate call has been put forth for Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka to cut political ties with ODM leader Raila Odinga and start preparing for his presidential bid in 2027.

The appeal was made by Mwingi professionals forum coordinator Campbell Munyambu who says that all indications are that Raila will never support Kalonzo for the top seat.

To regain his political muscle, Munyambu argues that Kalonzo should forthwith de-associate himself with Odinga and start mobilizing his troops in preparation for taking a stab at the presidency in 2027.

"From his body language and actions, all signals point to a Raila who is not willing and ready to support Kalonzo for presidency. This is despite Kalonzo having supported him for three consecutive presidential elections," observes Munyambu. 

And from this perspective, the professional argues that Kalonzo stands a better chance politically without Raila. He must then start rebuilding himself as early as today, Munyambu states.

"Raila has misused the Kamba community for far too long. His reluctance to say Kalonzo Tosha is a clear indicator that he is selfish and greedy for power. Kalonzo should never again play second fiddle to Raila," states Munyambu. 

He predicts that Odinga might again run for the presidential seat, still with Martha Karua or some other lucklusture politician who cannot deliver a substantial vote, just like Karua.

Further, the Kalonzo ally says that the only time the Kamba community was in government and benefitted significantly from the central Government was when Kalonzo vied for presidency indipedently. This was during the 2007 presidential election, where the then declared president Mwai Kibaki appointed Kalonzo as Vice President.

"Through him a good number of our people were appointed into government. It is the only time in many years that the community felt we were in government," Munyambu explains.

Munyambu points out that Odinga has fallen into his political menopause, adding that it is a waste of time to keep walking in his shadows. 

He however can play an important role of checking the excesses of the government as a retired political statesman, the professional says.
