‘You cannot be a player and pick a referee’ - KALONZO slams RUTO over IEBC appointments and warns of 2027 showdown



Saturday, May 10, 2025 - Wiper Party leader, Kalonzo Musyoka, has criticized President William Ruto for defying recommendations in the NADCO report and unilaterally appointing the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) chairperson and commissioners.

Speaking in Nzeluni, Migwani Ward, Kitui County, during the burial of Kariobangi North MCA, Joel Munuve, Kalonzo said he had written to both President Ruto and ODM leader, Raila Odinga, but received no response.

“You cannot be a player and pick the referee,” Kalonzo declared.

He asserted that even if Ruto appointed himself as IEBC chair, he would still be voted out in the 2027 General Elections.

The former Vice President emphasized that the opposition is prepared for any outcome, warning that Kenyans will assert their power at the ballot regardless of the electoral body's composition.

Drawing parallels with the U.S elections, Kalonzo said the people's will must prevail.

He called for unity in resisting what he termed a drift from democratic principles.

Kalonzo also hinted at possible foul play in Munuve’s death, stating that further toxicological tests are underway despite an autopsy citing a blood clot.
