We Owe You Nothing, ODM Tells Kalonzo over Alleged 2022 Pact with Raila

ODM party has rubbished claims that Raila Odinga and Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka have signed a political pact.

Kalonzo in an interview with Sunday Nation noted that he had entered into an agreement with Odinga ahead of the 2022 presidential election.

But ODM through secretary-general Edwin Sifuna trashed the claim, saying its leader has not signed such an agreement with Muyoka, who he described as a traitor. 

“We know that Kalonzo tried to push Raila to commit to supporting him in 2022 as part of the NASA pact and as a party, we flatly rejected that demand. The so-called deal therefore only exists in Kalonzo’s wild dreams,” Sifuna stated in a statement sent to the press on Sunday.

“We are however not surprised that Kalonzo is making those claims. It is typical of Mr. Kalonzo’s character as a two-faced treacherous character who is always whining while seeking to reap where he did not sow. It is a continuation of his ‘kati kati’ brand of politics.”

He added: “As a party, we challenge Kalonzo to man up, stop whining and be able to stand up for something for once. ODM and its leader Raila Odinga owe Kalonzo nothing. As a party, we have moved on and we are not planning our politics around Kalonzo.”

I recall RAO in 2017 stating he will not be a candidate in 2022. That was in live TV. But he didn't indicate who he'll support in 2022. But KM states this was a private arrangement with RAO, which means Sifuna would not have the info. Only RAO can confirm or deny the secret arrangement.

Kalonzo - the days of passing in-between (Kati Kati) are long gone - that simply means you are no longer a presidential candidate material! Please stop fooling yourself that Raila or any body for that matter will support you!

The only force that can stop Mr. Ruto frm taking power in 2022 wld be a Karua, Mutua, Murungi combination. But whomever that gets Rao/Uhuru (Kenneth) backing will be a force to recn. Karua can make a very good prezo. Kalonzo MDVD and Weta are in oblivion
