Wiper Patriotic Front has reaffirmed its commitment to the Wantam Movement and the opposition’s broader unity efforts, dismissing reports suggesting that Kalonzo Musyoka is planning to abandon the coalition or announce a new political direction.

In a statement shared through the Wiper Patriotic Front on Tuesday, July 28, 2026, Kalonzo urged supporters to ignore what he termed as false information circulating online.

“Ignore the fake news. We are committed to Wantam Movement. Ukombozi wa Kenya ni lazima, and Kenya cannot be liberated until we send this regime home,” the statement read.

The message was accompanied by an image of a purported invitation to a special press conference in which Kalonzo was reportedly expected to make a major announcement on political alliances and the future of Kenya’s leadership.

The document was stamped “FAKE” by the party.

Wantam platform

This comes a week after he also distanced his party, the Azimio la Umoja-One Kenya Coalition, from a newly launched digital platform claiming to give Kenyans a say in selecting the Opposition’s 2027 presidential flagbearer.

In a statement issued on Thursday, July 16, 2026, Kalonzo said the platform, unveiled by a lobby group identifying itself as the WANTAM Advisory Committee, had not been sanctioned by any of the three political formations.

“Our attention has been drawn to a digital platform recently unveiled by a lobby group referring to itself as the WANTAM Advisory Committee, purportedly designed to give Kenyans a voice in shaping the Opposition’s 2027 presidential flagbearer selection,” the statement read.

“We state clearly: Both the initiative as well as the lobby group have not been sanctioned by the Wiper Patriotic Front, the Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Coalition, or the United Alternative Government in Waiting.”

Announcing opposition flagbearer

The former vice president also assured supporters that the Opposition coalition would announce its official process for selecting its 2027 presidential flagbearer through recognised and legitimate channels.

“The Wiper Patriotic Front, Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Coalition, and the United Alternative Government in Waiting will communicate the official process for flagbearer selection through proper and recognized channels in due course,” the statement added.

The clarification comes amid growing public debate over how Kenya’s opposition will settle on a single presidential candidate to challenge President William Ruto in the 2027 General Election.
