His supporters have made it clear that Kalonzo, who left OKA to support Raila's presidential bid, will not be able to secure the coveted deputy position.
The contest is clearly between Narc Kenya Martha Karua and former Gatanga MP Peter Kenneth.
Kalonzo, who made it to the final list submitted to Raila by the selection committee, has filed a withdrawal petition in court.
According to reports, the Wiper leader, who wields significant power in the Ukambani region, is considering running for the presidency alone.
The veteran politician is rumored to be announcing his running mate to meet the IEBC deadline, even as he seeks court action to leave the coalition.
The national chairman of the Akamba Governing Council of Elders, Boniface Kilonzo, has stated that the community will only support a Raila and Kalonzo candidacy.
Makueni lawmaker Dan Maanzo, who was set to lead Wiper's legal team, said the party had also decided to have Musyoka renew his presidential bid if he is not chosen as Wiper's running mate.
“The agreement of Azimio-OKA has legal issues. As wiper and its lawyers, we are approaching the High Court tomorrow seeking to impeach the agreement of Azimio-OKA and I believe the court is a court of justice and will guide the political parties correctly… and we will prove that the current agreement is illegal and unconstitutional,” Maanzo stated.
Maanzo has also expressed his worries on Raila not selecting Wiper leader, Kalozno Musyoka as his running mate.
“Now that it seems from the indications so far that Raila Odinga no longer wishes to work with Kalonzo and his party Wiper, it is clear that there will be no Raila Odinga without Kalonzo,” Maanzo added.
This is the third time the Wiper leader has backed Raila.
