REVEALED: KALONZO called UHURU and RUTO requesting for a deal before MONDAY

We can now reveal that Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka on Monday this week called Jubilee supremos Deputy Prime Minister Uhuru Kenyatta and Eldoret North MP William Ruto, requesting them to offer him a slot in the Jubilee alliance.

Credible sources indicate that Kalonzo, who is Raila Odinga’s running mate in CORD alliance, was irked by Trade Minister Moses Wetangula’s assertions last week that Raila Odinga will not share the government on 50-50 basis with Kalonzo Musyoka, if CORD wins the Monday poll.

Sources said Kalonzo contacted Uhuru and Ruto who are now deliberating and weighing on the political implications (especially Ngilu) before getting back to him either today or tomorrow.

Raila and Kalonzo had initially agreed on a 50-50 power sharing agreement, but with the entry of Wetangula, who is Ford Kenya’s party leader, the power sharing arithmetic changed.

Kalonzo has been on record saying Ford Kenya should share the slots with ODM, since it is Raila Odinga who invited Wetangula.

After the talks between Raila, Kalonzo and Wetangula hit a deadlock, Kalonzo is said to have called Uhuru and Ruto requesting to offer him a soft landing before Monday’s historic general election.

To cement Kalonzo’s move, the VP has even gone to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) requesting to be included in the list of losers who will be nominated to parliament after March 4^th.

Political pundits and analysts have said Kalonzo Musyoka has realised the forced marriage hasn’t translated to support at home (Ukambani) - Since the Jubilee Alliance wave is sweeping the region.
