National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi has weighed into remarks by Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka who said he will start campaigns immediately ODM leader Raila Odinga is sworn into office.
According to Muturi, the remark is a testament that Kalonzo is only focused on clinching power.
Muturi urged Kenyans to shun such leaders saying the country needs those who will put people's interests first than anything else.
"There are aspirants who started campaigning as early as 2018, just a few months after the general election. There are countries who even thought our general election will be held in December same year," he said.
While in his visit to Tharaka Nithi on Monday, Kalonzo revealed that he has picked something from Ruto that would be useful to him come the 2027 general elections, where he will be contesting for the presidency.
"Truth be told, this man DP Ruto knew that he will be vying for the presidential seat. And once he was sworn in as the DP, he immediately started campaigning for the presidency. I’ve learned my lesson from him. Immediately Raila is sworn president, I will begin my campaigns for the top seat," Kalonzo said.
The former Vice President expressed his optimism that Raila will endorse him after his term comes to an end.
