Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka yesterday hosted several political leaders at his Kitui County backyard, where he announced that they will soon unveil their strategy to deny President William Ruto a second term in office.

The meeting, which was part of the opposition's coalition-building efforts ahead of the 2027 general election, was also viewed as a symbolic coronation for Kalonzo, culminating in his declaration of his presidential ambitions.
