Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka has urged Kenya’s United Opposition to remain united ahead of the 2027 General Election, saying the coalition’s success will depend less on opinion polls and more on its ability to agree on a common political cause.

Speaking during an interview on NTV on Monday, Kalonzo said the opposition should not allow polling numbers to determine who will lead its presidential ticket, warning that opinion surveys could be used to manipulate voters and influence internal negotiations.

“I think we must be very scientific about these opinion polls. I don’t want Kenyans to fall prey to electoral manipulation,” Kalonzo said.
