Wiper Breaks Silence After Photo Allegedly Showing Kalonzo at Charlene Ruto’s Wedding Goes Viral

The Wiper Party has broken its silence after a photo purporting to show its leader, Kalonzo Musyoka, attending Charlene Ruto’s wedding in Tanzania circulated widely on social media.

In a statement issued on Monday, November 9, Wiper spokesperson Ndegwa Njiru dismissed the claims, insisting that the former Vice President was not among the guests who attended the high-profile ceremony in Mwanza.

Njiru described the circulating photo as fabricated, maintaining that Kalonzo had neither attended the wedding nor met President William Ruto during the event.

“This is pure fiction. H.E. Hon. Kalonzo Musyoka did not attend any wedding in Mwanza or anywhere else with President Ruto. His itinerary is always publicly available and has never included such an engagement,” Njiru stated.

The spokesperson went further to accuse the State of being behind the circulation of the image, claiming that it was intended to create a false impression about Kalonzo’s relationship with the Head of State.

He also maintained that the claims would not change the Wiper leader’s political position, particularly regarding any possible cooperation with President Ruto.

According to Njiru, Kalonzo had already made his position clear and was not interested in working with the current administration.

The clarification comes days after Charlene Ruto tied the knot with her fiancé, Isaya Yunge, in a colourful wedding ceremony held at Malaika Beach Resort in Mwanza on Friday, November 6.

President Ruto and First Lady Rachel Ruto travelled to Tanzania to attend their daughter’s special day. Several Kenyan leaders and government officials also attended the ceremony, including Musalia Mudavadi, Kipchumba Murkomen, Moses Wetang’ula and Oscar Sudi.

Kalonzo’s name has featured prominently in political discussions as opposition leaders continue positioning themselves ahead of the 2027 General Election.

The latest clarification has therefore added another twist to the political conversations surrounding the wedding and the relationship between opposition leaders and President Ruto.
