“He Has No Chance” Ledama Olekina Speaks Over Kalonzo’s Bid to Unseat Ruto in the 2027 Election
AI summary
Narok Senator Ledama Olekina has delivered a scathing assessment of Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka’s presidential prospects, declaring that the veteran politician stands no chance of securing the country’s top seat in the upcoming election cycle.
Speaking during a feature on Citizen Sunday Live, the outspoken lawmaker maintained that while he holds deep personal respect for Kalonzo, political reality demands that the Wiper leader re-evaluates his trajectory and aligns with the current administration instead.
Advising the Wiper party leader to reconsider his political strategy, Olekina insisted that joining the governing coalition represents the most practical path forward.
“Kalonzo Musyoka has no chance; I do have a lot of respect for him. I still believe he can come in and join us, work together, and support Ruto to finish his other 5 years,” Olekina stated.
The Senator revealed that although he has not yet spoken directly to the Wiper leader about the proposition, he intends to initiate dialogue soon. “I haven’t spoken to him, but I will be reaching out to him,” he added.
Olekina’s overtures come amid shifting political alliances following the establishment of a broad-based governance framework.
He argued that consolidating support behind President William Ruto offers leaders a structured route to remain central to national decision-making rather than running an isolated campaign.
Turning his attention to former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua and the figures grouping around him, Senator Olekina launched a sharp critique of the leadership dynamic within that political axis.
He firmly rejected the idea of any leader seeking political direction from the former Second-in-Command following his historic impeachment, declaring, “You cannot be led by someone who has been impeached.”
He went further to paint a stark picture of the relationship between Gachagua and his supporters, criticizing the internal power balance governing that camp.
“The way I see Gachagua, he is the master, and everybody following him is a slave; he is the leader, and everyone else is a follower,” the Senator asserted.
