Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka plans to engage American lawmakers and rally diaspora support during the Kalonzo US tour. The November 18–24 visit forms part of the opposition’s campaign against President William Ruto ahead of the 2027 General Election.
Kalonzo will lead a nine-member delegation on the seven-day trip, covering six cities. His itinerary includes Washington, Boston, Germantown, Baltimore, Minneapolis and Cleveland.

Kalonzo US tour includes Capitol Hill engagement
A media advisory from his office schedules a meeting with members of Congress at Capitol Hill on November 18. The visit will begin in Washington, followed by an engagement at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Boston.
At MIT, Kalonzo will meet members of the technology and investment community. He will also hold a town hall for Kenyans in the Washington, DC, Maryland and Virginia region.
After those engagements, the Wiper leader will travel to Minnesota and Ohio for further diaspora meetings. In Minneapolis, he will attend the Somali Hero Awards and Somali Book Fair alongside former Kenyan diplomat Mohamed Abdi Afey.
The programme also includes a Kenya-Africa reception in Cleveland. Meanwhile, opposition leaders are stepping up efforts to build a united political front against Ruto before the 2027 polls.
The delegation plans to leave the United States for Nairobi on November 24.
