Mike Sonko Hints At Kalonzo Musyoka Working With Ruto Ahead Of 2027

Former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko has suggested that Wiper Patriotic Front leader Kalonzo Musyoka could consider an alliance with President William Ruto ahead of the 2027 General Election, warning against miscalculations within the opposition camp.

Sonko, who leads the National Economic Development Party (NEDP), made the remarks on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, following a series of high-level meetings with prominent political figures from the Ukambani region.

The former governor held talks with former Machakos Senator Johnson Muthama before conferring with Labour Cabinet Secretary Dr. Alfred Mutua, a key ally of President Ruto in the region.

Taking to his official Facebook page, Sonko cautioned that certain advisors were giving the Wiper leader self-serving advice that ignores the shifting political landscape.

“Some bogus noise makers are misleading Kalonzo without understanding the political reality. Let them know that the one-term option is also on the table. We are carefully weighing both political options,” Sonko wrote.

Focus on Regional Unity and Strategy

Sonko emphasized that ongoing negotiations across political divides are focused on securing long-term benefits for the electorate rather than engaging in empty political rhetoric.

• Strategic Realignment: The leader hinted that joining forces with the government remains a viable strategy under consideration by key regional leaders.

• National Interest: “Our final decision when we all come to the table will be guided by the interests of our people, unity, and the future of our country. We stand for unity, not division, or empty political games,” he added.

The developments come amid intensifying political realignments as leaders from the Lower Eastern region evaluate coalition options ahead of the 2027 contest.
