The veteran politician made it clear that he would not step aside for any other leader this time. According to him, the era of playing second fiddle to coalition partners has ended, and he is fully determined to go all the way to the ballot.
He also criticized leaders who are maneuvering to take over the role of official opposition leader. Kalonzo said such schemes are distractions meant to weaken unity among those dissatisfied with the current administration.
The former Vice President reminded Kenyans of his decades of service in government and opposition politics. He stated that his leadership style is grounded on stability, dialogue, and fairness, qualities he believes the country needs now more than ever.
Kalonzo also called on his supporters to remain vigilant and resist any attempts to divide the opposition. He stressed that his political journey has prepared him for this decisive moment, and he would not allow it to slip away.
As the 2027 race begins to take shape, Kalonzo’s declaration sets the stage for a high-stakes contest. His resolve to run without compromise signals a possible shift in opposition dynamics, with his candidacy expected to challenge both allies and rivals.
