A solemn moment unfolded during a church service in Baltimore, where prayers were offered for Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka.
Clergy led the congregation in intercession as leaders and congregants stretched out their hands in a show of unity and faith.
Kalonzo knelt quietly as the prayers were conducted, reflecting a deeply personal and spiritual pause amid his public life.
The Azimio Party leader on Monday spent time engaging with Kenyans living and working in the United States, in what he described as “an open and honest conversation” about the country’s future.
Addressing members of the diaspora in Silver Spring, Kalonzo said the gathering was not a formal meeting but a candid exchange about leadership, responsibility, and the direction of Kenya.
“I made it clear that I will be on the ballot in 2027,” Kalonzo told attendees.
“That decision is anchored in service, experience, and a lifelong commitment to the people of Kenya. My public record speaks for itself.”
The veteran politician stressed that leadership is measured not only by policies but by conscience, particularly in how a government treats its youth.
“The most important thing I can say with clarity is this: I have never presided over the killing of our children. I have never sanctioned abductions. I have never stood before cameras to brand young Kenyans as criminals or terrorists for exercising rights guaranteed by the Constitution,” he said.
Kalonzo emphasised that the duty of leadership is to protect life, respect the voice of citizens, and act with restraint and humanity.
“Leadership must restore dignity, safeguard our people, and build a future worthy of the sacrifices of Kenyans,” he added.
Kalonzo concluded the gathering by invoking a shared vision for the country: “Together we shall Komboa Kenya.”
Earlier, Kalonzo urged Kenyans to reflect carefully on the choices they make when electing leaders, saying leadership decisions have a lasting impact on the destiny of a nation.
In a message shared after worshipping at PCEA Baltimore Church in Maryland, United States, Kalonzo said moments of political choice should be guided by values, faith and a deep sense of responsibility to the people.
The event was attended by Deputy Minority Leader and Kathiani MP Robert Mbui and Makueni Senator Dan Maanzo.
