Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka yesterday confirmed they were having talks with ousted former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, describing it as a move to “build a strong coalition.”

Responding to questions about potential discussions with Gachagua, Kalonzo said they would work with everyone to consolidate the opposition in Kenya.

“We will talk to everyone going forward to build a strong coalition. What I can say is that there will come a time when we will ask everyone to validate their membership in Azimio and expand,” he said at his SKM Centre, where he received a peace award from the National Community-Based Organizations Council.
