Former Gender Cabinet Secretary Aisha Jumwa has officially joined the Wiper Democratic Movement. She was received by party leader Kalonzo Musyoka in Kakuyuni, Kilifi County, where she declared her readiness to strengthen the opposition ahead of the 2027 elections.
Jumwa stated that residents of Kilifi are tired of coalition government politics and should support the opposition. She vowed to work with Wiper to paint the Coast region in the party's 'sky blue' color for the 2027 polls. Taifa Leo reports she is associated with plans to vie for the Kilifi governor's seat in 2027.
Kalonzo Musyoka welcomed Jumwa and promised to support her in that contest. He said her joining will strengthen the opposition's influence in the Coast region and across the country to remove the Kenya Kwanza administration from power.
Musyoka also warned other opposition leaders against breaking their unity to join the Kenya Kwanza government, likening such a move to betrayal. He urged opposition leaders to remain united and set aside personal interests to build a strong coalition to challenge President William Ruto.
