Roots Party leader Prof. George Wajackoyah has expressed dissatisfaction with what he termed as a sudden change of heart by opposition leaders who were once vocal critics of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
Speaking during a recent event, Wajackoyah accused some opposition figures of political inconsistency, suggesting that their newfound support for Gachagua contradicts their earlier hardline positions.
Wajackoyah, known for his candid and often controversial remarks, questioned the motives behind the shift, implying that political expediency might be at play.
He warned against what he called “opportunistic politics,” where leaders align themselves based on personal gain rather than principles.
The remarks come at a time when Kenya’s political landscape continues to experience realignments, with some opposition leaders appearing to warm up to Gachagua despite having previously criticized his leadership style and policies.
The Deputy President, who has been at the center of internal wrangles within the ruling Kenya Kwanza coalition, has lately been reaching out to various political figures, signaling potential alliances ahead of the next election cycle.
Observers have noted that the shifting alliances could be part of a broader strategy as politicians position themselves for future electoral contests.
However, Wajackoyah’s criticism highlights growing discontent among some opposition members who feel betrayed by their colleagues’ changing loyalties.
A full video of Wajackoyah’s statement has been shared in the comments section, capturing his passionate remarks on the matter.
The development adds another layer of complexity to Kenya’s ever-dynamic political scene, where allegiances can shift unexpectedly.
As the country heads towards future political engagements, the evolving relationships among key figures will likely continue to shape the nation’s political discourse.
