A fresh political accusation has opened an old wound within Kenya’s opposition, with Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka now facing pointed questions over his role in Raila Odinga’s political journey and the outcome of past elections. Read Full Article Here
Speaking during a political engagement, Suna East MP Junet Mohammed launched a sharp attack on Kalonzo, claiming that his actions contributed significantly to Raila’s defeat. His remarks have already sparked debate among political observers and supporters of the opposition.
Junet alleged that Kalonzo repeatedly made political calculations while waiting for an opportunity to benefit from alliances involving former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
“KALONZO made RAILA fall, every time it was hotels waiting for GACHAGUA to emerge,” Junet claimed.
The statement has placed Kalonzo under renewed scrutiny, particularly as political formations begin positioning themselves ahead of the 2027 General Election.
For years, Kalonzo has remained one of the most prominent figures in Kenya’s opposition politics. He has worked closely with Raila in several political arrangements, including presidential campaigns where the two shared a ticket or formed broader coalitions.
However, Junet’s latest remarks suggest that old disagreements may still be simmering beneath the surface.
The allegations also raise a larger question about the future of opposition unity. With different leaders increasingly advancing their own political ambitions, disagreements over past alliances could influence how the opposition approaches the next election.
Kalonzo has yet to publicly respond to Junet’s latest claims, leaving supporters waiting to hear his side of the story.
As 2027 draws closer, the political battle may not only be between rival camps. It could also become a contest over who gets to define the opposition’s past—and who carries responsibility for its defeats.
