Wiper MPs will vote against ODM Cabinet nominees, Kalonzo says

Wiper leaders must vote 'No' to ODM nominees: Kalonzo

What you need to know:

  • Kalonzo, whose party has 25 MPs in the National Assembly, said he was eagerly waiting to see how Mr Odinga's party MPs will vote for the new Cabinet nominees. 
  • The inclusion of ODM members in President Ruto's Cabinet list has split the Azimio coalition with Narc Kenya leader and Mr Odinga's running mate in the 2022 presidential elections, Martha Karua, notifying the Registrar of Political Parties of her intention to exit the Opposition coalition. 

Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka has directed his party Members of Parliament to reject the four ODM party members nominated to the Cabinet by President William Ruto last week. 

Mr Musyoka said his party was opposed to how four high-ranking members of ODM including the Minority Leader in the National Assembly Opiyo Wandayi, were nominated to various Cabinet portfolios.
