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\u2019s Enoch Kiio Wambua, underscores the national weight behind today\u2019s *Tseikuru Declaration*.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3869\" src=\"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/1748514637417-210x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"210\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/1748514637417-210x300.jpg 210w, https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/1748514637417-717x1024.jpg 717w, https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/1748514637417-768x1096.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/1748514637417-1076x1536.jpg 1076w, https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/1748514637417-1435x2048.jpg 1435w, https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/1748514637417-1024x1462.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/1748514637417-scaled.jpg 1793w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 210px) 100vw, 210px\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3870\" src=\"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/1748514558873-300x234.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"234\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/1748514558873-300x234.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/1748514558873-1024x798.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/1748514558873-768x599.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/1748514558873-1536x1197.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/1748514558873-2048x1597.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3871\" src=\"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/1748514515996-300x257.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"257\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/1748514515996-300x257.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/1748514515996-1024x877.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/1748514515996-768x657.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/1748514515996-1536x1315.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/1748514515996-2048x1753.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Anticipation pulses through the crowd as supporters, dignitaries, and the clergy await Kalonzo\u2019s speech\u2014expected to be a political turning point. This event is no ordinary gathering; it is the symbolic consecration of Kalonzo\u2019s bid for the presidency in 2027. Tseikuru, his birthplace, is not just a backdrop\u2014it is a political altar. Today\u2019s 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\u2019s helm.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>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\u2014a 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\u2019s presidential momentum from the shadows of State House influence. For those present, the message is clear: loyalty is being tested, and the region\u2019s political soul is on the line.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3872\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3872\" style=\"width: 225px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3872\" src=\"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_20250529_124659_684-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_20250529_124659_684-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_20250529_124659_684-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_20250529_124659_684-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_20250529_124659_684-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_20250529_124659_684-1024x1365.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_20250529_124659_684-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3872\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">0-3456&#215;4630-0-0#<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3873\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3873\" style=\"width: 225px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3873\" src=\"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_20250529_124608_431-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_20250529_124608_431-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_20250529_124608_431-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_20250529_124608_431-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_20250529_124608_431-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_20250529_124608_431-1024x1365.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_20250529_124608_431-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3873\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">0-3456&#215;4630-0-0#<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>As the sun climbs over Tseikuru and leaders continue to arrive, the nation waits with bated breath.
