  • Kalonzo remarks come amid media reports that he has been holding secret talks with Raila.

Wiper Party Leader Kalonzo Musyoka has dismissed claims that he has been meeting ODM Leader Raila Odinga over a possible coalition in 2022.

According to Kalonzo, OKA is united team which is keen on taking over the country’s presidency come 2022.

“The media should stop creating propaganda that so and so are meeting secretly. Write that Mudavadi, Kalonzo, Moi, Wetang’ula and Jirongo are an indivisible team and in due course, we will be giving out a team leader,” said the Wiper leader.

Kalonzo remarks come amid media reports that he has been holding secret talks with Raila.

On the content of the alleged talks, the daily reported that the two were deliberating on probable lineups.

“They are looking at the dynamics of the upcoming polls but we have a common agreement that should the matrices be allowed, then Raila should support Kalonzo," one insider confided.
