‘I’m Not Affiliated!’ – Activist Hanifa Declares Stance On Wiper Party Amidst Public Backlash
Hanifa Adan, a political activist, has disputed claims that she has joined Kalonzo Musyoka’s Wiper Party.
After social media users reported she had joined the opposition party, Hanifa issued a statement denying the allegations.
She claimed that she had no affiliation with the opposition alliance Azimio or any other political party.
Hanifa claimed that she had just presented an award to former Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka.
The activist also stated that she was unaware of the press conference scheduled during the prize ceremony.

However, when she was summoned to speak, she took use of the opportunity to tell the Kenyan people what she wanted to say.
“I was called by the National community-based organization to present the peace ambassador awards to His Excellency and didn’t even know it was a presser, this was after I spoke,” Hanifa said.
“This looks like I’m in Azimio or something and I would like to categorically state that I’m not affiliated with Azimio or any political party.
“This was my speech as well!!! I said peace goes hand in hand with justice and we want justice for every one of us that has been mercilessly killed!” she added.
After appearing at a press conference with the leaders at the SKM Centre, rumors circulated that she had joined the opposition.
I congratulate all the recipients of the Peace Awards who were honoured for their selfless contributions to ensuring our region is peaceful and stable.

She also denied reports that Kalonzo had taken advantage of her.
Kasmuel McOure, an activist who participated in the Gen Z protests, recently revealed his allegiance with the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party.
Kasmuel said in a statement on Sunday that, following a meeting with party chairperson and Homa Bay Governor Gladys Wanga, the party is now working to reinvigorate youth and student leagues across the country.
He went on to state that ODM is the only pro-people party in East and Central Africa.

“If you’re willing to join a substantive political movement for a fair, democratic Kenya where everyone can live with dignity, consider @TheODMparty – the largest pro-people party in East and Central Africa!
“We’re revitalising the Youth and Students’ Leagues and are calling on passionate young Kenyans to help shape our future. Stand with us! Thank you, party chair @gladyswanga, for your faith and for hosting us this weekend,” Kasmuel said.
Kasmuel stated that he and others will do an outreach to encourage both educated and uneducated people to join the party.
