NAIROBI, Kenya Aug 7 \u2013 Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka has appointed former Cabinet minister Jamleck Irungu Kamau as chairman of the Wiper Patriotic Front (WPF) and lawyer Ndegwa Njiru as the party\u2019s national spokesperson in a leadership shake-up aimed at strengthening the outfit ahead of the 2027 General Election.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The appointments, which take effect immediately, are part of a broader restructuring of the party that Kalonzo said fulfils a mandate handed to him by delegates during the Wiper \u00a0Patriotic Front National Delegates Congress.<\/p>\n

Addressing party members, Kalonzo said he had been entrusted with two key responsibilities by the delegates: to seek the presidency in the August 10, 2027 General Election and to expand the party\u2019s leadership into a truly national movement.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe first was to seek the presidency of the Republic of Kenya in August 2027. The second, no less weighty, was to expand and renew the leadership of this movement, this party, until it stood as the face of Kenya, broad enough to hold every county, every generation and every Kenyan who has chosen to liberate Kenya,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Kalonzo announced that Jamleck Kamau would serve as the party chairman, describing him as a seasoned politician with decades of experience in coalition building and public administration.<\/p>\n

\u201cHonourable Jamleck Irungu Kamau becomes chairman of the party,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He noted that Kamau is a former Cabinet minister for Nairobi Metropolitan Development, a two-term Member of Parliament, former National Vice Chairman of the Party of National Unity (PNU) and a principal negotiator in the coalition that previously governed the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cHonourable Kamau has spent 30 years building coalitions, balancing budgets and holding fractious political houses together under pressure. That is precisely the discipline the White Patriotic Front needs as we assemble the United Alternative Government in waiting\u2014a coalition wide enough to defeat this regime and disciplined enough to govern after it,\u201d Kalonzo said.<\/p>\n

Kalonzo also appointed advocate Ndegwa Njiru as the party\u2019s national spokesperson, saying the lawyer\u2019s communication skills and legal expertise would strengthen the party\u2019s public engagement as it seeks to popularise its agenda across the country.<\/p>\n

Njiru, who has built a public profile through constitutional litigation and legal commentary on governance issues, now joins the party\u2019s top leadership as Kalonzo continues to assemble a team he says reflects the national character and aspirations of the opposition.<\/p>\n

Nyali MP Mohammed Ali has been appointed \u00a0as the Deputy Party Leader-designate of the White Patriotic Front (WPF), saying the move is part of efforts to broaden the party\u2019s leadership as it prepares for the 2027 General Election.<\/p>\n

Announcing the changes, Kalonzo said the appointments were guided by a mandate given to him by delegates during the party\u2019s National Delegates Congress, where he was tasked with seeking the presidency in the August 10, 2027 election and expanding the party\u2019s leadership into a truly national movement.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe first was to seek the presidency of the Republic of Kenya in August 2027, and to be precise, election day on the 10th of August 2027. The second, no less weighty, was to expand and renew the leadership of this movement, this party, until it stood as the face of Kenya,\u201d Kalonzo said.<\/p>\n

He announced that Mohammed Ali would serve as the party\u2019s Deputy Party Leader-designate, describing the Nyali legislator as a leader whose public service has been anchored on accountability.<\/p>\n

\u201cHonourable Mohammed Ali, CBS, HSC, becomes our Deputy Party Leader-designate,\u201d Kalonzo said.<\/p>\n

He praised Ali\u2019s career before joining elective politics, noting that he earned national recognition through investigative journalism that exposed corruption and championed the interests of ordinary Kenyans.<\/p>\n

\u201cLong before he sat in Parliament, Mohammed Ali sat behind a camera exposing corruption and giving a voice to ordinary Kenyans,\u201d Kalonzo said.<\/p>\n

He said Ali\u2019s appointment would strengthen the party\u2019s appeal, particularly among young people, as it seeks to build a formidable coalition to challenge the Kenya Kwanza administration in the 2027 General Election.<\/p>\n

The appointments are part of a wider effort by the Wiper \u00a0Patriotic Front to expand its leadership and position itself as a key vehicle for the opposition ahead of the 2027 General Election, with Kalonzo saying the party is focused on building what he described as a \u201cUnited Alternative Government in waiting.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
