According to reliable sources within the Wiper Democratic Movement, Party Leader Dr. Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka (SKM) is keen on having Kitui Senator Enoch Kiio Wambua retain his senatorial seat in the upcoming elections. Insiders reveal that SKM wants Senator Wambua to continue playing a strategic role at the national level, helping to strengthen Wiper’s position in the Senate and within the broader opposition framework.
The move is said to be part of Kalonzo’s larger political strategy as he prepares for the 2027 general elections. Senator Wambua, a trusted ally and loyal party stalwart, has been instrumental in advancing Wiper’s agenda both in Kitui and in national politics. His eloquence, political experience, and unwavering loyalty have reportedly convinced the Wiper leader that he remains best suited to represent Kitui in the Senate.
Sources within the party further indicate that SKM’s decision is also aimed at maintaining political stability and unity within Kitui County, even as intense lobbying continues for the Wiper gubernatorial ticket. By retaining Wambua at the Senate, Kalonzo hopes to balance power among key leaders while ensuring that the party’s legislative voice remains strong and coordinated.
As the 2027 elections draw closer, Wiper’s internal alignment continues to take shape, with the expected ticket arrangement for Kitui now becoming clearer. With Senator Wambua likely to defend his seat, focus will shift to who between Hon. Irene Kasalu and Dr. Makali Mulu will be handed the coveted Wiper certificate for the Kitui governorship.
