KOT React To Kalonzo’s Failed Presidential Bid

The decision by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) to bar Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka from running for president in the August 9 General Election has drawn mixed reactions from Kenyans. This comes just days after the Wiper party leader named Andrew Leteipa Ole Sunkuli as his running mate. Kalonzo made his move after Azimio la Umoja – One Kenya Coalition presidential candidate Raila Odinga overlooked him and settled on Martha Karua as his running mate. We sample some of the reactions and comments from Kenyans on Twitter:

Another one questioned whether Kalonzo was faking a walkout on Azimio so that he could bargain a better deal for himself.

Another one pitied him while posing how he could entertain a known master of deceit.
