Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka has said he has no plans to defect to Kenya Kwanza anytime soon.<\/p>\n

In a video seen by the Star, Kalonzo who is affiliated with the Azimio coalition said he is in Azimio to stay and they are waiting for the perfect time to file the petition in court after their presidential candidate Raila Odinga lost the election.<\/p>\n

“I think those who are saying I have plans to join Kenya Kwanza are wishful thinkers, and you all know where we are going, we are going to pursue them in the Supreme Court,” Kalonzo said.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, residents of Mwingi in Kitui had pleaded with Kalonzo to consider joining the Kenya Kwanza alliance, after its flag bearer William Ruto was declared the President-elect on Monday.<\/p>\n

The residents told the Ukambani kingpin to position himself inside the government to ensure the region will not be outside government again.<\/p>\n

The residents spoke in Mwingi town while celebrating Ruto\u2019s win.<\/p>\n

Kiluti Peter, a resident, urged Ruto to include Kalonzo in his government for the Ukambani region and especially Kitui to reap from the government.<\/p>\n

“During your campaign, you always asked Kalonzo to join Kenya Kwanza. We request you on his behalf to have him in your government. We need development in our marginalised region now more than ever,” she said.<\/p>\n

Azimio presidential candidate Raila Odinga said they will file a petition at the Supreme court to challenge Ruto’s win.<\/p>\n
