A Nyanza lobby group has termed NASA DP candidate Kalonzo Musyoka an enemy of the people and promised to cripple his 2022 presidency bid.
Luo Voters Forum said the community was not party to the MoU the five Opposition leaders signed and that Kalonzo should not expect any votes from them.

Charles Otieno said details on why the Wiper leader is their enemy will be shared soon.
Otieno sent an open letter to media houses on Thursday saying their community suffers most in cases of political violence and that other NASA principals "did not mobilise their supporters to also die".
The other principals are Raila Odinga (presidential candidate, ODM), Bomet Governor Issac Rutto (CCM), Bungoma Senator Moses Wetang'ula (Ford Kenya) and Musalia Mudavadi (ANC).
"We were prompted to convene this lobby by the fact that after being cheated in the nominations, the Luo community which has suffered most during violence is again being mobilised by the same fraudsters for another round of confrontation," he said.
"This is likely to lead to death and destruction of property on a scale never seen in this country."
Members of the group said they will campaign for
independent candidates and not follow Raila's six-piece voting plan.
Otieno noted the community was most affected by the 2007/8 post-election violence that left at least 1,300 dead and more than 600,000 people internally displace.
"The Luo community lost heavily but after joining the coalition government with Mwai Kibaki and becoming the Prime Minister, Raila forgot Luo IDPs. Most of whom were integrated," he said.
"Instead of compensating them, he told President Mwai Kibaki to use the money set aside to purchase a new building for PM at a cost of Sh1 billion and to furnish it at an additional cost of Sh300 million with a golden bed and high end carpets imported from Belgium".
Otieno further accused the ODM leader of demanding jobs for close relatives and cronies at the time, a mobile toilet and a red carpet for his entourage.
The group expressed concern that politicians aware of what will happen during elections have already started taking their relatives out of hotspots.
"It is a scenario which is not new to Luos. We saw it in the countdown to the bloody August 82 coup attempt, in which we incurred heavy losses," Otieno said.
"We do not want to see the endless political misadventures in pursuit of the presidency,
through extra-constitutional means by one family."
