MP Kaluma has accused political forces of abandoning Babu Owino in favor of Gakuya, describing it as being dropped like a “hot potato.”
He claimed that the maneuver is part of a broader strategy to weaken opposition figures ahead of upcoming elections.
Kaluma further warned that Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna is the next target in this political scheme.
He said Sifuna is being deliberately set up for destruction through coordinated attacks from rival factions.
The MP suggested that political operators are using both media narratives and internal party mechanisms to isolate key leaders.
Kaluma noted that these moves are intended to reshape political allegiances and consolidate power for specific groups.
He expressed concern over the seeming disregard for democratic principles in the process of sidelining influential politicians.
According to Kaluma, such strategies risk alienating voters who expect fair competition and transparency in political contests.
He called on party leadership to uphold fairness and protect the interests of members rather than targeting individuals for personal gain.
Kaluma also urged supporters to remain vigilant and united in the face of what he described as calculated political marginalization.
He highlighted that the rapid shifts in political favoritism create uncertainty and instability within key constituencies.
The MP claimed that those benefiting from these maneuvers are prioritizing short-term gains over long-term democratic integrity.
Kaluma concluded by asserting that politicians should focus on serving the public rather than engaging in destructive internal rivalries.
He emphasized the importance of accountability, warning that voters will ultimately judge those who manipulate political processes unfairly.
The MP’s statements come amid rising tensions in Nairobi politics, with several high-profile figures reportedly repositioning for influence.
Kaluma’s comments have sparked debate online, with analysts weighing in on the potential consequences for both Babu Owino and Sifuna.
Observers say the unfolding scenario could redefine political dynamics in Nairobi and influence broader national party strategies.
