From Kenyatta Road, Juja, the people have spoken, and the message is simple: give us a united team.
Let me assure Kenyans that UNITY is our ONLY option, and it is non-negotiable.
Edwin Sifuna, you worked alongside the late Raila Odinga.
How come, in all those years, he never considered you for the position of running mate?
For 15 years, Raila kept Kalonzo Musyoka close. He repeatedly chose him as his principal partner because he understood the political value of that partnership.
Do you understand that Kalonzo Musyoka's support base cuts across the entire nation, across tribes, generations and religions?
Kalonzo Musyoka must be respected.
You cannot have a car without an engine and expect it to move.
Kalonzo Musyoka is the engine.
In Kwale there is significant Kamba population, should they listen to Edwin Sifuna that his supporters heckled Kalonzo Musyoka! Digging your grave in politics is easy.
STRATEGIC BLUNDER: Moments after LLM supporters disrespected & humiliated Kalonzo Musyoka, in a manner reminiscent of the Babu Owino episode, Edwin Sifuna's rallies in Samburu & Kwale have reportedly attracted surprisingly small crowds.
In one instance, the turnout was 1/3
This is the truth, many kalonzo supporters were not happy with what happened yesterday, if we don't call out this behaviour itaharibu. They started with Babu owinoz then orengo and now kalonzo,, aaih hapana
If you listen to this video, Linda Mwananchi supporters called Kalonzo a watermelon. Is this really the behaviour of people who want to be given the presidency?
This kind of sycophancy is exactly why Mt Kenya never supported Raila. It is also why Kalonzo chose Kibaki in 2007 β because of supporters who behave without restraint.
How can you call Kalonzo a watermelon and still expect his people to stand with you?
You cannot preach political tolerance to state House while condoning bullying in your own backyard. Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander; every invited leader must speak in peace. #RespectKalonzo
attendance allegedly show discussions about a plan to humiliate Kalonzo Musyoka inside Sifuna's WhatsApp groups.
One message reportedly asks: "Are we allowed to Lima Kalonzo ama we just focus?"
Another responds: "Lazima tumlime, no mercy and use HE's pic to amplify him and our hashtags."
The conversations are wild, to say the least.
Now that the backlash has hit, some are scrambling to distance themselves from the incident, claiming the booing was the work of paid crowds.
Remember how political arrogance, personal attacks and internal power games consumed Azimio in 2022?
Junet's crude personal attacks on Ruto were one example of that toxic political culture.
Now we're witnessing the same pattern: plotting against potential partners, organising humiliations and treating allies like enemies.
In 2022, the ruling establishment's hostility towards Ruto and his supporters helped create sympathy for the opposition's rival. Today, sections of the opposition are replicating that behaviour against their own colleagues.
You cannot build a winning political coalition by destroying the very people you need to work with.
When will these people realise that internal sabotage is not a political strategy - it's a gift to their opponents? Or is the goal all along to gift Ruto a 2nd term? Because it makes no sense why anyone would plan traos for fellow opposition leaders.
The opposition needs unity, not fights.
So if the chaos were not planned jana,tell me why they didn't even stand or clap for kalonzo musyoka when he was called to speak, the hate started way too far to be a coincidence, na vile sisi Sifuna akija SKM we respect him, bana hii kitu iliniboo sana,i insist Sifuna and his troop need mentorship,waitwe wakalishwe chini waonyeshwe how national politics go!
This question has been in my mind for sure...am understanding it clear now also
Luyhas will cost opposition unity
I can't imagine Ruto is sleeping and fatin'
I am beginning to understand why the Luhya community, despite being among the hardest-working people in this country, can be politically tolerated but not adequately accommodated or celebrated.
The Luo Nation has never heckled Kalonzo Musyoka.
Mt. Kenya understands the politics of gather all, scatter none.
The Kisii community understands that Kalonzo Musyoka is an important political partner in the formation of a government.
Raila Odinga was not stupid when he picked Kalonzo Musyoka as his running mate. He understood the political value of partnerships, numbers and national coalitions.
Both Edwin Sifuna and Kalonzo Musyoka are Raila Odinga's allies. They are political comrades, not enemies.
But let nobody mistake Kalonzo Musyoka's humility for weakness.
Do you want to start a political war with Kalonzo Musyoka? Come, baby, come!
Edwin Sifuna is still a political toddler learning to walk. Kalonzo Musyoka has been in this political game for decades.
There is a difference between learning the game and having played it for a lifetime.
Respect is reciprocal. Unity cannot be preached in the morning and sabotaged by supporters in the afternoon.
Wiper and DCP can't attack one another... cousins know the road to their home after hunting. Sifunas will learn that politics is a marriage without respect house can't grow
I see some people claiming Kalonzo was supposed to βread the room.β What room exactly? The attacks against Kalonzo did not start at yesterdayβs Linda Mwananchi event. You have constantly attacked him even when he kept quiet β calling him lazy, questioning his loyalty and throwing all sorts of insults at him.
We need to tell ourselves the truth. Hii kiburi tuwache! We cannot claim to be building a united opposition while disrespecting and attacking the very principals we need to work with. Personally, I have never seen DCP and Wiper supporters constantly attacking each other like this. What happened yesterday was wrong, and it must stop. Our enemy is Ruto, not fellow opposition leaders. Unity requires respect from everyone!
