The Senate Deputy Minority Leader Enock Wambua has denied claims that Wiper Party Leader Kalonzo Musyoka met President William Ruto with a view to joining forces for the 2027 General Election, dismissing the circulating videos as a “deep fake” designed to undermine the opposition.

“There was no meeting, there is no plan to have such a meeting. If Ruto met a man in State House called Kalonzo, then that man was not Kalonzo Musyoka,” Wambua said, insisting that Kalonzo remains firmly committed to the United Alternative Government cause.

He accused the government of being behind the rumours, arguing that the Ruto administration was resorting to disinformation because it recognises Kalonzo as the biggest threat to the President’s re-election chances.

Senator Wambua also gave an assurance that the opposition would soon name its presidential candidate.

He added that all opposition leaders had already committed to backing whoever is chosen through the agreed process.

“Kalonzo is a seasoned politician. I dare say he is the senior most statesman alive. Kalonzo is not a man to sell the vision of millions of Kenyans for his personal gain,” he said.

The denial follows videos circulating widely on social media suggesting Kalonzo had met Ruto and proposed becoming his running mate ahead of the 2027 elections.
