Saturday, July 27, 2024 - Wiper Party Leader Kalonzo Musyoka has accused President William Ruto of scheming to rig the 2027 elections.
This is after it emerged that Ruto was
secretly planning to nominate a section of Kenya Kwanza politicians as
commissioners of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).
Speaking in Nyeri County, Kalonzo claimed he
received reports of plans by the Head of State to buy off some of the
politicians affiliated with Opposition parties, like former Prime Minister
Raila Odinga’s ODM.
According to Kalonzo, the bribed Azimio
coalition politicians would then be compelled by Ruto to unwarrantedly approve
the IEBC commissioners.
However, Kalonzo vowed to reject commissioners
who would be nominated in an unjustified manner.
“These people are so desperate even in putting up the new IEBC commission.
"They want to ensure that those who will be choosing
the commissioners are from Kenya Kwanza,” Kalonzo alleged.
“We will not accept, they are bribing people
in Azimio to ensure those who will be chosen as commissioners are from Kenya
Kwanza,” he added.
Kalonzo’s claims come after Ruto nominated
Raila Odinga’s allies in ODM to his Cabinet; a move that has left a lot to be
desired.
