Kalonzo: Wiper will reclaim Machakos County

Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka has supported calls by National Assembly Minority Leader Francis Nyenze that NASA should name its flag-bearer.

"Nyenze is within his constitutional right to make any pronouncement and should not be vilified for airing his opinion. After all, other leaders have made similar statements," Kalonzo said.

Nyenze's seven-day ultimatum last week for NASA to name its flag bearer has ignited debate, especially in ODM. Nyenze also told the coalition's National Coordinating Committee to convene a National Executive Council meeting and declare Kalonzo the presidential candidate, sentiments he repeated Wednesday.

Kalonzo said he was optimistic that Wiper would reclaim the Machakos gubernatorial seat.
