Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka has announced plans to withdraw from the Raila Odinga-led National Super Alliance, saying the outfit is dead. The development means Wiper will now divorce from the Opposition coalition as the law does not allow political parties to belong to more than one coalition. The coalition comes barely a month after Kalonzo signed a cooperation agreement with Jubilee that allowed the two parties to cooperate within and outside Parliament. Makueni Senator Mutula Kilonzo is the Minority Whip — a position he will have to relinqquish if the coalition deal materialises. Wiper will be the second political party to enter into a coalition agreement with Jubilee after Baringo Senator Gideon Moi’s Kanu formalised its union in June.
