Kalonzo goes for Senate Speaker position
Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka is back into the political ring and will be seeking the position of Senate speaker as the Azimio la Umoja Candidate.
This comes hours after Wiper Party National Executive Council convinced Musyoka to drop his bid for National Assembly Speaker's seat.
ODM Communications Director Philip Etale broke the news of the agreement on his social media.
Last-minute discussions on Wednesday resulted in an agreement that Kenneth Marende would vie for the National Assembly speaker seat while Musyoka would seek the Senate speaker seat.
Kalonzo will battle it out against former Kilifi Governor Amason Kingi who is the Kenya Kwanza candidate.
Mombasa Gubernatorial aspirant Hassan Omar dropped out of the speaker race after a consensus to support Kingi.
