Kalonzo Lock Horns with Governor Mutua over Machakos Poll Rigging Claims

Wiper leader Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka and his Maendeleo Chap Chap  counterpart Dr Alfred Mutua bare-knuckle verbal attack over alleged poll rigging in the forthcoming Machakos by-election takes a new twist as the former vice president accuses the Machakos governor of having rigged the 2017 elections.
 “Wavinya Ndeti defeated Mutua in 2017 but because of rigging, he managed the 54 percent theft. So, if there are county officials hired as either clerks in polling stations or returning officers for the forthcoming Machakos senatorial by-election, we want their names removed immediately,” stated the infuriated Wiper leader.
Mutua defended himself from the allegations leveled against him and stated that his political nemesis had sensed defeat. 
The Machakos senatorial seat fell vacant after the demise of Senator Boniface Kabaka and the by-election is scheduled to be held on March 18. Agnes Kavindu, estranged wife to former senator Johnston Muthama, is Wiper Democratic Movement’s candidate for the senatorial race. Maendeleo Chap Chap will be represented by John Katuku.
Musyoka alleged on Saturday that a senior IEBC official had been spotted in Mutua’s home. Both Kalonzo and Mutua are battling for regional supremacy. The two are possible presidential candidates in 2022.
The succession of President Uhuru Kenyatta has attracted a number of aspirants, which includes: deputy president William Ruto, ODM leader Raila Odinga, ANC leader Musalia Mudavadi, Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka, MCC leader Dr. Alfred Mutua, Makueni governor Kivutha Kibwana and former UNCTAD secretary general Dr. Mukhisa kituyi.

Why Matiang'i comeback threatens Ruto's re-election bid

  Former Interior cabinet secretary Dr. Fred Matiang'i is a great rival to President William Ruto in his 2027 re-election contest. Matiang'i is set to give Ruto a run for his money, owing to his track record as a cabinet secretary in the previous regime.  Former President Uhuru Kenyatta trusted Matiang'i more than any other cabinet secretary due to his workaholic nature and might be forced to finance his presidential quest.  The former Interior CS is reportedly eyeing the presidential seat on a Jubilee ticket, as alluded by the party's secretary general Jeremiah Kioni. Ruto's dalliance with the doyen of opposition politics and ODM party leader Raila Odinga had complicated the opposition's quest to unseat the sitting Head of State.
