Former Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka has responded to President William Ruto's continued mockery of his lengthy stint in politics and leadership. 

Addressing a crowd in Bondo town, Siaya County on Sunday, Kalonzo agreed that indeed he has been a mainstay in Kenyan politics, with vast experience as a politician and leader, but said in those years he has not committed some of the atrocities allegedly committed by other leaders. 

"It's true I have been around for 40 years as Ruto claims, but I have not killed anyone's child, I have defended the rule of the law together with other many leaders. I have been here for 40 years, but I haven't done what others have done in 5 or 10 years," Kalonzo said.

Les élections législatives marocaines du 23 septembre 2026 ont placé le Parti authenticité et modernité (PAM, membre de la coalition gouvernementale sortante, avec le Rassemblement national des indépendants et l’Istiqlal) en tête, avec 97 sièges sur les 395 que compte la Chambre des représentants. La participation a toutefois fortement reculé par rapport aux dernières élections, à environ 38 % . Mustapha El Mnasfi, chercheur en sciences politiques, a étudié la participation citoyenne et les pratiques démocratiques au Maroc. Il analyse pour The Conversation Africa les enseignements de ce scrutin.

Ce résultat peut notamment s'expliquer par deux facteurs. Le premier est lié à la préparation de ces élections par le parti, notamment à sa capacité à coopter certains notables de son principal concurrent, le RNI.

Le deuxième est lié à l’adhésion au parti d’une personnalité technocrate très populaire dans le monde du football, Faouzi Lakjaa, président de la Fédération royale marocaine de football et ancien ministre délégué chargé du Budget.

There are many of us who see Kalonzo Musyoka for what he represents: an old-school politician shaped by the Moi era, who is yet to fully embrace modern democratic culture.

Nationally he presents himself as a democrat and champion of opposition unity. But in Ukambani, many who have dealt with him experience a different politics one that demands submission, discourages independent Kamba voices, and treats the region as a personal political estate.

Hence the question: Can Kalonzo really change for the better?
