In a dramatic and unexpected political volte-face, Mr. Machogu has broken his silence, lashing out at President William Ruto and branding him a “habitual deceiver.”
Without hesitation, Machogu also announced his decision to throw his support behind the Opposition-aligned Wantam movement—a move sure to send shockwaves through Kenya’s political landscape.
Sources close to Machogu say this marks a stark departure from his previous neutrality, signaling a possible realignment in the nation’s power dynamics. In a public declaration that stunned many, Machogu accused President Ruto of consistent falsehoods, suggesting that the administration’s credibility is teetering on the brink.
With precision and apparent disgust, Machogu labeled Ruto a “habitual deceiver”—a harsh indictment that appears calculated to resonate deeply with disaffected voters.
At the same time, he explicitly tied his political future to the Wantam movement, an Opposition coalition that had been gaining momentum but lacked high-profile endorsements—until now.Political analysts are already reacting to the seismic implications.
If Machogu brings with him significant grassroots networks or institutional influence, the Wantam movement could transform from a marginal player into a formidable force ahead of upcoming elections.
This unexpected twist raises several urgent questions: Will Machogu’s realignment catalyze other defections? How will Ruto’s camp respond to this direct attack on the President’s integrity?
And perhaps most crucially, can Wantam capitalize on this breakthrough and coalesce a winning coalition?The timing of Machogu’s declaration could not be more consequential.
With national sentiments growing increasingly skeptical of the ruling administration’s promises, the fallout from this announcement may define the next chapter in Kenya’s unfolding political drama.
Stay tuned as we bring you updates on the fallout—reaction from Ruto’s administration, Wantam leadership, and the broader political community.
