Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka believes his decision to work with Jubilee Party will put him ahead of the pack in the race to succeed President Uhuru Kenyatta.

The former vice president further said intense talks were still on between him and his National Super Alliance (NASA) colleagues Moses Wetang’ula (Ford Kenya) and Musalia Mudavadi (Amani National Congress) to form a formidable force to claim the presidency at the opportune time.
