Former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko says Wiper Leader Kalonzo Musyoka will only succeed President William Ruto if he joins his government.
Sonko wants Kalonzo to quit the opposition and join forces with President William Ruto for him to succeed Ruto in 2032.
Sonko says Kalonzo’s association with Azimio Leader Raila Odinga is detrimental to his presidential ambitions.
“Leave the dynasties. You have the potential of becoming the next President of Kenya,” Sonko said.
Sonko spoke during the burial of Mirriam Munini Maanzo, mother to Makueni Senator Daniel Maanzo in Makueni County.
Kalonzo was present at the burial.

At the same time, Sonko says Kalonzo’s exit from the opposition would bring better tidings to the people of Ukambani, especially on matters of development.
“Join the government and let us support and develop our region. The time of dynasties is over, they will never again rise,” he said.
However, Kalonzo responded to Sonko’s request and told him that he was in the opposition to stay.
“We have agreed that we accepted to be loyal in the opposition.
“We do not have a problem with the President but I am telling him that he should be ready to make way,” he said.
Kalonzo has been positioning himself as the leader of the opposition often making serious proclamations against the government.
