Wiper Leader Hon Stephen Kalonzo echoed for a clarion call for a united democracy in Nairobi as prominent opposition leaders have expressed grave concerns over the integrity of Kenya's electoral process, alleging that the recent Mbeere and Malava constituency by-elections were marred by government-backed rigging. Speaking at the memorial service of former Cabinet Minister Joseph Konzollo Munyao, the leaders warned Kenyans to be vigilant against forces seeking to undermine electoral reforms and vowed to reclaim their rightful victories in the 2027 General Election.

Call to Vigilance

People's Liberation Party (PLP) leader Martha Karua lamented that Kenya is at a crossroads, with the Mbeere and Malava by-elections exemplifying the rot in the system. "Something was terribly wrong," she said, urging Kenyans to reflect on where they may have gone astray and chart a new course.

Wiper Patriotic Front leader Kalonzo Musyoka echoed Karua's sentiments, alleging that results in Mbeere and Malava were manipulated, and warning that the country is sliding back into the dark days of electoral malpractice. "We did not lose the by-elections," Kalonzo insisted, hinting at revelations to come when the time is right.

Defending Democracy

Democratic Action Party of Kenya (DAP-Kenya) leader Eugene Wamalwa emphasized the importance of defending multiparty democracy, recalling the struggles of the Democratic Party (DP) to bring about reforms. "This is what we must fight for, to defend our democracy at a time of peril," he declared.

The leaders' remarks underscore the deep-seated divisions in Kenya's political landscape, with opposition voices amplifying calls for electoral integrity and unity ahead of the 2027 General Election. As the nation mourns the loss of Joseph Konzollo Munyao, a stalwart of Kenyan politics, the opposition leaders' message serves as a rallying cry for Kenyans to demand transparent and fair elections.
