Wiper Democratic Movement leader Kalonzo Musyoka has asked Nairobi Senator Mike Sonko to join the party.
Mr Kalonzo said information had reached him that Mr Sonko intended to vie for a seat in Machakos County, something he welcomed with all his heart.
"Since he's one of our sons and comes from the county, nothing is wrong for him to vie for any seat he wishes to," he said amid cheers from the crowd that he addressed at Mulu Mutisya Gardens in Machakos town.
Kalonzo also called on all those who had abandoned the party to rejoin it since it had rebranded and is determined to be the most popular party in the country.
