On June 17, 2020, Kalonzo Musyoka's Wiper Party made a significant move by signing a post-poll coalition agreement with both Jubilee and KANU Parties. This development has far-reaching implications, as it technically dismantles the Jubilee Party structure as well as the NASA Coalition, which Wiper has always been a member.
According to Kalonzo Musyoka, the party leader, the decision to join hands with Jubilee and KANU is informed by President Kenyatta's commitment to a united country. Musyoka emphasized, 'The decision to join hands with Jubilee and KANU is informed by the fact that President Kenyatta is committed to a united country. This is the basis of our working relationship. Wiper Party is committed to the Handshake.'
As part of the agreement, Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka is proposed to take over the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This move is expected to have a significant impact on the country's political landscape.
Meanwhile, President Uhuru Kenyatta is reportedly planning a major Cabinet reshuffle, which could see almost half of the current Cabinet secretaries sacked. The changes are expected to be announced any time from now, with several prominent politicians likely to be appointed to key positions.
