Wiper Patriotic Front leader Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka is set to visit Siaya county this weekend as part of a busy week-long programme. The schedule, issued by WPF spokesperson Ndegwa Njiru on Tuesday, September 23, 2026, outlines a series of engagements running from Wednesday through Sunday. Kalonzo's week-long engagements begin on Wednesday, September 24, by handing over a school bus at Mama Pauline Girls' School in Kyuso, Mwingi North Constituency, Kitui.
On Thursday, September 24, at 10am, the former vice president will lead his family in commemorating the 20th anniversary of the late Mama Sarah Malia Musyoka at the family's Tseikuru Residence in Kitui. This event is a personal milestone for Kalonzo, and it is part of his schedule before embarking on a meet-the-people tour in Siaya county. The WPF leader's engagements also include a church service and a meet-the-people tour in Bondo, Siaya County, on Sunday.
The Siaya leg of the tour carries particular political significance, as Kalonzo recently announced the formal rebranding of the Azimio la Umoja coalition to the Ukombozi Alliance. This move was made following a meeting attended by several opposition leaders, including Siaya governor James Orengo. The visit to Bondo, located in Orengo's home county and traditionally an ODM stronghold, is likely to be closely watched.
The newly rebranded opposition bloc, previously led by the late former president Raila Odinga, seeks to consolidate its membership ahead of the 2027 General Election. Kalonzo's visit to Siaya county may be seen as an effort to expand his support base in the region. The ODM party had announced that it will fully back President William Ruto's re-election, which may affect the dynamics of the opposition.
Elsewhere, Kitui senator Enoch Wambua challenged President William Ruto over ongoing development projects in Ukambani. The Wiper lawmaker said residents had already chosen Kalonzo ahead of the 2027 General Election. Wambua claimed Kalonzo would complete the projects if elected president, even if Ruto’s administration halted them.
The dispute included major road upgrades, Thwake Dam, and the planned tarmacking of the road leading to Kalonzo’s home in Tseikuru. This suggests that Kalonzo's supporters believe he can deliver on development projects in the region. The senator's comments also indicate that Kalonzo may have a strong chance of winning the 2027 General Election.
Kalonzo's engagements in Siaya county are part of his efforts to expand his support base ahead of the 2027 General Election. The WPF leader's schedule includes a church service and a meet-the-people tour in Bondo, Siaya County, on Sunday. Members of the media are encouraged to attend and cover these engagements.
