The sleepy hills of Tseikuru have roared to life today as a tidal wave of political heavyweights descend upon the ancestral home of Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka, awaiting what many believe will be a defining moment in Kenya’s 2027 political narrative. From governors and senators to women representatives, clergy, and grassroots leaders, the turnout has been nothing short of seismic.Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua,former CS/National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi, former Cabinet Secretary Peter Munya, and an array of notable leaders including Governors Wavinya Ndeti and Dr. Julius Malombe, are already on the ground. The delegation, joined by Makueni Deputy Governor Lucy Mulili and senators led by Kitui’s Enoch Kiio Wambua, underscores the national weight behind today’s *Tseikuru Declaration*.
Anticipation pulses through the crowd as supporters, dignitaries, and the clergy await Kalonzo’s speech—expected to be a political turning point. This event is no ordinary gathering; it is the symbolic consecration of Kalonzo’s bid for the presidency in 2027. Tseikuru, his birthplace, is not just a backdrop—it is a political altar. Today’s declaration is expected to marry tradition with vision, setting the stage for Kalonzo to draw legitimacy not just from party structures but from ancestral authority and regional unity. As the Wiper leader remains indoors preparing for the grand address, whispers of a powerful, defiant message fill the air: that Kalonzo is ready to break free from political subservience and claim his place at the nation’s helm.
But while the unity on display is deafening, the absences speak louder than words. Notably missing from the ceremony are Kitui Speaker Kelvin Katisya and Machakos Speaker Anne Kiusya, both long suspected of cozying up to UDA—a move seen by Wiper loyalists as betrayal from within. Mavoko MP Patrick Makau, another figure allegedly aligned with UDA forces, has also snubbed the gathering. Their absence, at such a momentous occasion, exposes what many within the movement believe is a covert campaign to undermine Kalonzo’s presidential momentum from the shadows of State House influence. For those present, the message is clear: loyalty is being tested, and the region’s political soul is on the line.
As the sun climbs over Tseikuru and leaders continue to arrive, the nation waits with bated breath. What Kalonzo Musyoka will say remains a matter of intense speculation but what’s certain is that this is more than just a political gathering. It is the opening of a new chapter. With the Kambaland Times Editor-in-Chief on the ground, we will continue to bring you updates from this unfolding political theatre. The moment is pregnant with history, and Kenya is watching.
