KALONZO Musyoka wanted US President George Bush to get President Kibaki to stand down so he could take over, according to a Wikileaks cable dated November 13, 2007.
According to US ambassador Michael Ranneberger, "Musyoka seriously suggested that President Bush should call Kibaki to urge him to step aside. If Kibaki were to pull out, Musyoka contended, he would receive much of the support that Kibaki had received (based on the traditional close ties between Kibaki's Kikuyu community and Musyoka's much smaller Kamba community". "Musyoka expressed concerns about the health of President Kibaki and the negative impact of the electoral process should Kibaki experience a health crisis before the elections" which were just six weeks away.
