Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka on Thursday, May 29, 2025, welcomed a host of senior political figures and family members to his rural Tseikuru home in Kitui County.
The meeting, described by insiders as a high-stakes strategy session, is seen as part of early preparations for a grand opposition alliance ahead of the 2027 General Election.
Present at the meeting were several key political leaders, including DCP party leader Rigathi Gachagua, former Defence Cabinet Secretary Eugene Wamalwa, and former Attorney General Justin Muturi among other leaders. Their presence fuelled speculation that a broad-based coalition may be in the works.
A blend of politics and family
The gathering was not strictly political. Kalonzo used the opportunity to present a more personal side of his life by introducing his family to the dignitaries.
His sons, Kennedy Kalonzo and Kelvin Muasya, attended the function accompanied by their spouses.

Kennedy, who has in the past served as a member of the East African Legislative Assembly (EALA), was dressed in a light blue long-sleeved shirt with black and white accents on the placket and cuffs, paired with dark trousers.
His wife wore a striking African print dress, complete with a matching elaborate headpiece and a red feathered accessory at the waist.
Kelvin Muasya, Kalonzo’s younger son who recently tied the knot, sported a dark grey tunic-style top with a mandarin collar and matching trousers.
His wife, Sharon Nthoki, wore a stunning black dress featuring an intricate light-coloured geometric pattern.
Wife absent but not forgotten
Although Kalonzo’s wife, Pauline, was not present physically, the Wiper leader acknowledged her in his remarks, noting that she was following the proceedings from home.
“Pauline is watching us from home,” Kalonzo said, before adding a light-hearted moment that warmed the crowd.
He then called up his youngest son, Mailu, whom he revealed is still single.
“Mailu is a Gen Z... He is the only one remaining without a wife. He is looking for a partner. Let’s clap for them,” he said, drawing laughter and applause from the crowd.

Kalonzo and Pauline have been married since 1985, and have four children: Kennedy, Kelvin, Mailu, and Damarie Saada.
The two first met at a Christian conference in 1972. Pauline has, in recent years, kept a low profile owing to an undisclosed illness that has seen her undergo treatment both in Kenya and abroad since 2015.
