Kalonzo heckled in his Kitui backyard by rival ODM camp
Kalonzo heckled in his Kitui backyard by rival ODM camp as he campaigned for area Member of Parliament, Racheal Kaki Nyamai.
On Friday, June 17, Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka faced an angry crowd during a campaign rally in his home county, Kitui.
Kalonzo bore an embarrassing moment as angry crowd jeered him in his attempt to campaign for area Member of Parliament and Jubilee Party candidate, Racheal Kaki Nyamai.
The angry crowd heckled and jeered Kalonzo, refusing to let him speak.
Kalonzo pleaded with the crowd to calm down, but they refused to be addressed by anybody other than Onesmus Mumo King, the Orange Democratic Movement’s (ODM) MP candidate.
Trouble started when Kalonzo defended Nyamai over the contested compensation of people whose land was taken during the construction of the Kibwezi – Kitui highway.
The crowd erupted on him, accusing him of standing with the oppressor and claiming that Kalonzo and Nyamai were not looking out for their best interests.
Wiper is fighting King hard and has threatened to have the ODM MP candidate disqualified from the elections by the Independent Elections and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) for allegedly disrespecting him.
“King, even if you are in Azimio, we are going to disqualify you. Control your supporters,” a visibly agitated Kalonzo scolded the youthful aspirant as the crowd jeered him.
King addressed the crowd and managed to calm his supporters down and get the Wiper leader a chance to speak.
Nyamai claimed that Daniel Mutua Ndambuki, the King and Wiper parliamentary candidate, had banded together against her in an attempt to sabotage her efforts to retain the seat she had held for the past ten years.
