The Wiper Democratic Movement party, led by its leader Kalonzo Musyoka, has dismissed claims that it plans to join President William Ruto's broad-based administration.
In a brief statement on Wednesday morning, Wiper flagged a viral social media post purporting that its former Deputy Party Leader and Daadab Member of Parliament, Farah Maalim, had called for the incorporation of the party into the government.
The flagged media release alleged that Maalim, who was recently expelled from Wiper over allegations of contravening party rules, had raised concerns over the party's continued stay in the opposition.
According to the fake post, recent developments, including President William Ruto's Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, raised urgent and unavoidable questions about the party's future.
