“Tunajua Mission Yako” Wanjigi, Kalonzo Clash Over Defence of Former President Uhuru Kenyatta
Safina Party leader Jimi Wanjigi has criticised Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka over what he described as excessive defence of former President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Wanjigi questioned Kalonzo’s continued support for Uhuru, arguing that political leaders should focus on addressing current national challenges rather than revisiting past political alliances.
The Safina leader suggested that Kalonzo’s position could raise questions about his political priorities as leaders position themselves ahead of the 2027 General Election.
His remarks come amid renewed political realignments as opposition leaders seek to build alliances capable of challenging President William Ruto’s administration.
Kalonzo has remained vocal on matters concerning Uhuru, often defending the former president against criticism over his administration and political legacy.
Wanjigi, however, appears to believe that such interventions are unnecessary and could distract opposition leaders from the broader political agenda.
The disagreement highlights the competing positions emerging among opposition figures as they navigate potential partnerships ahead of the next presidential contest.
Kalonzo is among the politicians who have been mentioned as possible contenders for the presidency, alongside several other opposition leaders.
Wanjigi has also maintained his presence in national politics, positioning himself as a key figure in discussions surrounding the country’s political direction.
The Safina leader’s criticism could further expose divisions among opposition figures who are attempting to establish a common strategy ahead of 2027.
Political observers are closely watching how leaders such as Kalonzo, Wanjigi and other opposition figures will balance individual ambitions with efforts to create a united front.
The latest exchange also reflects the growing scrutiny facing politicians over their relationships with former leaders and the political decisions associated with previous administrations.
Uhuru remains an influential figure in Kenyan politics despite leaving office in 2022, with his legacy continuing to feature prominently in national political debates.
Kalonzo’s defence of the former president has therefore attracted attention, particularly as political actors prepare for another highly contested election.
Wanjigi’s comments are likely to generate further debate over whether opposition leaders should prioritise historical alliances or concentrate on forming new political partnerships.
The emerging contest could shape Kenya’s political landscape significantly as parties and leaders seek support across different regions and voter groups.
