Kalonzo Musyoka Reaffirms 2027 Presidential Bid Amid Political Accusations - September 2025

Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka has emphatically denied rumors of his withdrawal from the 2027 Presidential race, reaffirming his commitment to be on the ballot. He accused Kenya Kwanza bloggers of spreading misinformation amid pressure for him to defect to President Ruto's camp. Musyoka also accused President William Ruto of terminating the planned Nairobi-Mombasa expressway construction to punish the Ukambani region for opposing the regime. This accusation came a month after KeNHA announced the rejection of the deal. In a related political development, Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Chairperson Gladys Wanga stated that President William Ruto's re-election in 2027 is "highly likely," citing his strengthening alliance with ODM leader Raila Odinga.
