01.11.2026 ⇢ The Day Kalonzo Rejected Ruto's Overture
⌨
Parliament opened the day by rejecting Senate-backed timelines for electronic transmission of presidential results, including the two-hour rule.
Attention then shifted to Kalonzo Musyoka after his heckling at Edwin Sifuna's Linda Mwananchi launch. Kitui UDA leaders urged him to join President Ruto and warned against alliance with Rigathi Gachagua. Kalonzo refused, saying "no, thank you" and calling the government one of predators, vowing to meet at the ballot. Gachagua told Ruto allies to stop courting him, insisting he remained in opposition, while Aden Duale condemned the heckling.
Gachagua also accused the government of stalling the Rironi-Mau Summit dualing through corruption, as Roads CS Davis Chirchir cited bitumen shortages and the state deployed machinery.
In Eastleigh, rescue entered day 10 with 11 still believed trapped as families' hopes faded and leaders demanded a probe.
