Kalonzo's Strategists Begin Making Plans After Predicting What Raila Will do in 2027

It's the belief in Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka's camp that Azimio La Umoja coalition chief Raila Odinga will not vie for President in 2027.

Kalonzo is seen as the most likely to inherit Raila's political constituency, which would seriously boost his presidential ambitions for the same elections.

The Sunday Nation has established that the people in Kalonzo's think tank believe that Raila will keep off, and have began making plans that can benefit him.

As a result, they have began projecting him as the face of the opposition, apparently to ensure he has all the relevance he needs by August 2027.

This has been confirmed by Kitui Senator Enoch Wambua, who says that Kalonzo is indeed keen on inheriting Raila's strongholds like Nyanza and is anticipating Raila's endorsement at the right time.

“As Wiper, we are preparing for a stab at the presidency. Expect more of those visits in all parts of the country. He will continue engaging his contacts, old friends while building new networks in readiness,” he told the paper.

Kalonzo has announced that he won't shelve his presidential bid further, and earlier announced plans to begin his campaigns as soon as possible.

“DP Ruto started campaigns immediately after they were reelected in 2017 because he knew that he was focused on the presidency. I will also start my journey to State House a day after swearing in of Odinga as president,” the former Vice President said in March.

He has also been seen carrying out roles that would have otherwise been done by Raila, like charing a meeting bringing together all the Secretary Generals of Azimio member parties recently.

But this comes at a time when Raila is once again being seen carrying out opposition roles, which some expected he would abandon after his latest defeat.
