Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka has accused President William Ruto of orchestrating an intimidation and harassment campaign against opposition leaders, allegedly in preparation to steal the 2027 presidential election.

Speaking at Tsekuru in Kitui county during the burial of his uncle Mzee Mburu Mairu, Kalonzo claimed that the president had panicked as the opposition coalesced together to unseat him.
