Wiper Patriotic Front leader Kalonzo Musyoka has issued a stern warning to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), calling for vigilance and accountability ahead of the 2027 elections.

Speaking during the Inter-Party Cooperation For The Young Generation Forum on Wednesday, September 10, 2025, Kalonzo said the current political landscape cannot continue as usual. 

“And as for now, we need to call out this regime and tell this government it’s not business as usual,” Kalonzo said. “This generation is ongoing, and it will come to fruition at the ballot box, and nobody can do anything about it.”

He also issued a warning to the electoral commission, emphasising the need for impartiality. “We are telling IEBC as well not to be partisan. We are watching,” he added.

Kalonzo expressed concern over the early procurement of election materials, saying it shows systemic problems within the commission.

“They had already procured materials even before the new Ruto commission came into place. The CEO of IEBC has already procured material for the 2027 election in the absence of the commission,” he said.

“This is how bad it has become, so that they would have eaten before the commission came in,” Kalonzo remarked, highlighting what he described as a national tragedy. “This is the tragedy of our country.”

Stay alert

Kalonzo warned that the electorate must remain engaged and vigilant. “We need to ensure our votes count and that no institution manipulates processes,” he said, urging Kenyans to demand transparency.

Kalonzo further stressed the need for both youth and older leaders to uphold constitutionalism and mentor the next generation of leadership.

“We need to make coalitions. We have leadership in tribal enclaves with leaders thinking it’s their time to eat. It has disenfranchised many Kenyans,” he said.

He also called on the older generation to actively support the youth.

“My generation has a responsibility to put this country together in the spirit of constitutionalism and rule of law. We must at some stage enjoy the company of our children.

“We have work to do,” Kalonzo added, urging cross-party collaboration to safeguard Kenya’s future. By William Muthama, K24
