Kalonzo Musyoka’s Wiper and Eugene Wamalwa’s DAP-Kenya are decamping from the opposition coalition in the wake of talks of a looming political deal with former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua. Kalonzo allies told the Star that the team is burning the midnight oil to make the new vehicle ready by end of the year. Makueni MP Daniel Maanzo – a close confidant of Kalonzo – told the Star that the new political vehicle would be in place by next month. Signalling possibility of teaming up with Kalonzo, Gachagua on Saturday said he would give direction to Mt Kenya soon, even as his allies urged him to court Kalonzo and craft a formidable team to face Ruto. Gachagua’s promise came amid pressure from his allies to team up with Kalonzo and other like-minded friends for a mega political outfit.
