Speaking during a burial ceremony at Ng’iya in Alego, Siaya County on Saturday 8th February, 2025 Machakos Governor Wavinya Ndeti implored the Luo Nation to back Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka in the 2027 elections, as a reward for his loyalty to Raila Odinga.

The Governor said  as the Kamba community they have supported Raila Odinga’s presidential bid for many years and now they need the same support from Raila’s backyard for Kalonzo.

“Unajua sisi kama jamii ya Wakamba tumesupport Baba sana, 15 years while behind you (Luos) na hiyo miaka kumi na tano Raila alipata kura mingi hata kushinda constituencies zingine hapa Nyanza. I can give you the figures because I have them,” Ndeti, who was hosted by her Siaya counterpart James Orengo said.

“Mimi nataka kuwaambia Kalonzo Musyoka ameamua kuomba kiti cha urais. Kwa hivyo sasa, nyinyi ni marafiki zetu. Kujeni hata nyinyi mtembee na sisi. 15 years of sacrificing. When I was campaigning for Raila, I was a young girl, now I’m a mature woman,” she added.

In 2013, while in CORD with Raila Odinga, Kalonzo Musyoka shelved his presidential ambition to rally behind Raila Odinga for the presidency as the latter’s running mate. In 2017,  he vied as Raila’s running mate and under the National Super Alliance (NASA) ticket, both instances (2013 and 2017), defeated by the Uhuru-Ruto Jubilee ticket.
