President William Ruto's camp is courting Kalonzo Musyoka, the Daily Nation reported on Sunday. The 73-year-old Wiper Patriotic Front leader must choose between his own presidential bid and cooperation with Ruto.
President William Ruto has made open overtures to Wiper Patriotic Front leader Kalonzo Musyoka, the Daily Nation reported on Sunday. According to the paper, the 73-year-old politician now faces two competing political calculations. He can keep pursuing his long-held presidential ambition or agree to political cooperation with Ruto.
Analysts cited by the Nation see Ruto's approach as bait. They say it is meant to exploit uncertainty over Musyoka's chances of securing the opposition presidential ticket.
In a separate report on Sunday, the Daily Nation said Musyoka had accused his allies of letting Ruto gain ground in Ukambani. The available material does not name the allies or give details of what Musyoka said.
