Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka has ruled out the possibility of working with DP William Ruto ahead of the August 9 election. The remarks came hot on the heels of a statement he made on Tuesday indicating willingness to work with ODM leader Raila Odinga again despite the opposition chief having failed to honour their 2017-22 political pact. In an interview on KTN Tuesday night, Kalonzo said the new working relations with Raila must be based on structured negotiations, a condition he said Raila was at liberty to accept or reject. Asked if he would consider working with Ruto should Raila reject his demands, Kalonzo said: “For the avoidance of doubt, nobody should expect me on account of the statement I made today (Tuesday), no Kenyan should ever imagine that Kalonzo Musyoka can work with William Ruto.”“This is a matter which is very clear…there is no indication whatsoever, and that is out and I made up my mind,” Kalonzo said. He said the decision to rule out chances of working with Ruto or UDA are a result of consultations within the Wiper Party and the One Kenya Alliance in which he is a principal.
