Former Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka has several friends surrounding him, but few appear fully committed to backing his presidential ambitions.

Old friends, who had essentially endorsed the Wiper Party leader, have had a change of mind, with new ones needing more time to decide.

After months of singing Kalonzo’s praises, Jubilee Secretary General Jeremiah Kioni dropped a bombshell – former President Uhuru Kenyatta’s party would be supporting Fred Matiang’i as its flagbearer in 2027.
