Wiper Party Leader Kalonzo Musyoka has announced that the CORD coalition will be registered as a political party.
Kalonzo made the declaration during a high level party meeting at his Yatta home in Machakos today.
The merger hint comes barely a day after Jubilee Coalition announced on Friday that TNA and URP has formed the Jubilee Alliance Party to be used by President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto as their vehicle for re-election in 2017.
“We are going for a retreat very soon to draw our lineup. When we emerge you will know the team players,” Kalonzo said.
The Cord Principal said the final liberation of this country has began.
Kalonzo shied away from persistent calls from this supporters at the rally to announce his interest in vying for presidency in 2017.
“I will not say I want to become President today. I want to listen to your voices first,” said Kalonzo.
Kalonzo said 2017 will be like 2002 when Narc coalition removed KANU from power after all opposition candidates threw their weight behind Mwai Kibaki.
Machakos senator Johnstone Muthama said Kalonzo is “a presidential material just like Raila Odinga who can equally compete in 2017 elections.”
Makueni senator Mutula Kilonzo Junior said Kalonzo Musyoka must also be given support from Ukambani to compete in the presidential race.
Former deputy speaker Farah Maalim said Cord must change positions of players in 2017 “if we have to win.”
