Kalonzo called for stern action to be taken.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe should not fight over elections. That was a bad picture. You can\u2019t slap an election official.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Wiper leader criticised Makueni Govenor Kivutha Kibwana for sponsoring a Muungano party candidate in the concluded Kitise\/Kithuki mini poll, where a Wiper candidate won.<\/p>\n<p>He said it was wrong for Kibwana to have used his support to win the 2017 poll but later become defiant.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s wrong to hang on a party leader\u2019s shoulders and changing thereafter. I don\u2019t think there will be anyone who will try to use Muungano party to vie in Makueni because they will get no seat,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Kilome MP Thaddeus Nzambia expressed his confidence that Wiper will take the Machakos senatorial position on the by-election slated for March 18.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis \u201calliance\u201d that has taken almost all seats in the by-elections will produce the President.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AfricaPress-Kenya: Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka has referred to the big win in the concluded by-elections by the \u201csacred alliance\u201d is a taste of how it will win seats in 2022.
