Lawyer Wahome Thuku has responded to Murang’a Governor Irungu Kangata after he indicated that he will continue working with the Linda Mwananchi movement despite joining DCP.
According to Thuku, DCP does not intend to have any connection with Linda Mwananchi. He advised Kangata to abandon what he described as unnecessary excitement over the movement.
Thuku’s remarks come shortly after Kangata publicly stated that his decision to join DCP would not affect his engagement with Linda Mwananchi. The governor had suggested that he could maintain ties with both camps.
The lawyer appeared to dismiss that position, indicating that the two political outfits are not meant to work together. He used the phrase “Asilete kiherehere yake” to caution Kangata against pursuing that approach.
The exchange highlights growing tension around political alignments following Kangata’s move to DCP. His earlier remarks had raised questions about how his new party affiliation would coexist with his support for the Linda Mwananchi initiative.
Thuku’s comments suggest that DCP leadership expects full alignment from its members, with no room for parallel engagements with movements outside the party structure. This positions Kangata in a delicate spot as he navigates his political direction going forward.
Neither Kangata nor DCP officials have issued a formal response to Thuku’s remarks. The matter continues to draw reactions online, with observers watching closely to see how the governor will proceed.
The development adds to the broader conversation around Linda Mwananchi and its relationship with established political parties, as more leaders weigh in on where their loyalties truly lie ahead of the next election cycle.
