Wiper Patriotic Front (WPF) party leader Kalonzo Musyoka has rejected reported overtures to join President William Ruto's administration, declaring that he has no intention of becoming part of what he described as a failed government.
Speaking on Sunday, November 1, 2026, during a church service at AIC Kyemutheke Church in Kyumvi, Kalonzo said he had seen newspaper reports and heard discussions on radio and television suggesting that the government was seeking to bring him into its ranks.
He dismissed the reported approaches, telling the administration, “Thank you, but no thank you,” and describing it as a “failed predator regime.”

Kalonzo maintained that his political focus remained on offering Kenyans an alternative administration rather than joining the current government.
Quoting Proverbs 29:2, the former vice president reflected on leadership and its impact on the welfare of citizens, saying people rejoice under righteous leadership but mourn when the wicked rule.
Referring to the gospel song Nitarejeshewa, Kalonzo expressed confidence that Kenya would experience political and economic restoration under what he called the United Alternative Government in Waiting.
He pledged that such an administration would prioritise fighting corruption, addressing high taxation and ending abductions and killings.
Turning to road safety, Kalonzo mourned Kenyans who have lost their lives in recent accidents along the Nairobi-Mombasa Highway, including church members and pilgrims.
He said improving the highway would be his first priority if elected president, citing the need to protect motorists and passengers using the busy transport corridor.
His remarks come amid public concern over fatal road crashes and renewed calls for improvements to road infrastructure and traffic safety enforcement.
During the service, Kalonzo also paid tribute to the late veteran journalist Kitavi Mutua.
He revealed that Mutua had been working with him on his second autobiography before his death.
The Wiper leader acknowledged the journalist's contribution and remembered their collaboration on the publication.
Kalonzo also urged county governments, particularly those serving snakebite-prone areas such as Kitui County, to ensure that health facilities have adequate supplies of antivenom.
He said access to treatment was essential in communities where snakebites pose a significant health risk.
The church service was attended by several political leaders, including Machakos Governor Wavinya Ndeti, WPF National Chairman Jamleck Kamau, Machakos Senator Agnes Kavindu, Machakos Woman Representative Kamene, Kitui Central MP Makali Mulu and Kibwezi East MP Jessica Mbalu.
Kalonzo's remarks reinforced his opposition to the Ruto administration as political discussions continue ahead of the 2027 General Election.
