The Wiper Democratic Movement has announced that leaders serving in the broad-based government will not be welcome at its much-anticipated National Delegates Congress (NDC) scheduled for tomorrow at Uhuru Park, Nairobi.
Speaking during an inspection tour of the venue, Wiper National Organizing Secretary and Kathiani MP Robert Mbui said the meeting will mark a turning point for the party as it charts a new political direction ahead of the 2027 General Election.
“We are here to inspect preparations for our National Delegates Congress tomorrow. As members of the Wiper Democratic Party, we are likely to leave this place as a different party,” said Mbui. “We have invited all members of our party and friends of Wiper, including members of the diplomatic corps — except leaders serving in the broad-based government. They are not invited to this event.”
Mbui emphasized that the meeting, which brings together delegates from across the country, will deliberate on critical issues affecting the party, including amendments to the party constitution, a proposed name change, and strategies for the 2027 elections.
“This Congress happens once every five years, but we decided not to wait until 2027 because there are very important matters we need to address,” Mbui noted. “We feel it is time we have a conversation with our delegates so that they can give us their views as we prepare to engage the public.”
The Kathiani lawmaker also reaffirmed Wiper’s confidence in its party leader, Dr. Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka, describing him as the best candidate to steer Kenya back to stability and good governance.
“It is no secret that we have a candidate for the next general election — Dr. Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka. We believe he is the best placed to take this country forward. We want to take Kenya back to the times of the Kibaki-Kalonzo era when the country was stable and progressive,” Mbui added.
On voter registration, Mbui urged the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) to speed up the ongoing exercise, expressing concern over the slow pace in some regions.
“IEBC should move this registration closer to the people if they truly want to meet their target of registering six million new voters,” he said.
Also present was Embakasi South MP Musili Mawathe, who said tomorrow’s Congress would unveil “the team that will liberate Kenya” from poor governance and economic hardship.
“You can see that the economy is doing very badly; Kenyans are suffering. The team that will rescue this country will be here tomorrow. I’m inviting everyone from Nairobi to come and listen to them,” Mawathe urged.
Kibwezi East MP Jessica Mbalu assured delegates that preparations for the event were complete, calling on party supporters from across the country to turn up in large numbers.
“We are very prepared for tomorrow’s function and we are calling on our party members to come and listen to their leaders,” said Mbalu.
Tomorrow’s National Delegates Congress is expected to attract thousands of Wiper delegates and supporters, with the event being seen as a defining moment in the party’s reorganization and positioning ahead of the 2027 polls.
