Uhuru called Sifuna on Monday evening. The orders? FIRM. “Go to Wamùnyoro. Riggy G is waiting.” Sifuna arrived with his Luhya allies. Shock was written all over their faces. Even Pauline was caught off guard. Then Sifuna was summoned inside. His team stayed outside. The message: TAKE THE RUNNING MATE SLOT. NON-NEGOTIABLE. I was there.

KALONZO - A CLEAN PRESIDENCY Years in senior government positions, yet his record stands apart from the usual corruption allegations. If there are no dirty deals to expose, what leverage do you have over him? Kalonzo has the experience, knows the system and respects the rule of law. Kenya needs integrity and decisive leadership not trial and error.

PEACEMAKER PRESIDENT: Kenya needs a bridge-builder, not another divider. Kalonzo Musyoka’s diplomatic experience, peacebuilding record, years as Foreign Affairs Minister and service as Kibaki’s VP make him a compelling choice for a transitional presidency.

KALONZO–GACHAGUA ALLIANCE: THE REAL STORY. It began in earnest at Karen Hospital during Gachagua’s impeachment as Gachagua lay on hospital bed. Kalonzo was the only senior leader to visit him the following day, accompanied by Wamalwa, Waititu and Wiper Senators. Outside the hospital, he condemned the Senate process as rushed, politically motivated and contrary to natural justice, insisting that Gachagua deserved a fair hearing. He had also days earlier mobilised Wiper troops in both Houses to defend him. That moment revealed who stood with Gachagua when it mattered most. His decision on Kalonzo’s presidential candidature may well have been sealed then. Hii ingine mnaona ni vipindree na drama festivals!

Sifuna was being groomed for the DP slot by the sponyo. Then Ruto’s machinery saw the opportunity. They infiltrated Team Sifuna, deployed T9s to inflate his presidential ambitions, and convince him to reject Kalonzo’s running-mate offer. Divide and rule tactics have been applied to Sifuna to engineer a THIRD FORCE, split the opposition and weaken the push for a united front.

Sifuna and Matiang’i are feeling the reality of politics without reliable sponsors. Their day-to-day campaigns depended on other people’s money. Now, without fresh financial backing, their political machinery risks grinding to a halt. The money tap closes, and reality hits hard.
