Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka prepares for the 2027 presidential election by positioning himself as opposition leader. The former Vice President leads legal teams defending young protesters facing terrorism charges in court. His legal activism began July 8 when he spent entire days at Kahawa Law Courts advocating for arrested demonstrators. Kalonzo has attended funerals of police violence victims, speaking at burials of Boniface Kariuki and 12-year-old Bridgit Njoki.
Following the political agreement between President Ruto and ODM leader Raila Odinga, Kalonzo declared himself Leader of the People's Loyal Opposition. He actively courts Gen Z voters by joining activists at memorial ceremonies and meeting with formerly abducted young men. Political analyst Herman Manyora considers this strategy intelligent but warns that appearance alone will not suffice. Kalonzo consistently praises Kenya's youth as leaders of the country's Third Liberation while refusing dialogue with the current administration.
