In a notable political development, Maragua Member of Parliament Mary Wamaua has publicly declared her support for President William Ruto, distancing herself from former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua. This announcement occurred on April 3, 2025, during President Ruto’s development tour in Murang’a County.
Previously, Wamaua was a staunch ally of Gachagua, actively opposing his impeachment in November 2024. She often accompanied him to various events, showcasing her unwavering support. However, during the recent tour, Wamaua expressed a change of heart, stating, “Professor Kithure Kindiki is my good friend. I know, Mr. President, you have been watching me, and I have been in talks with Kindiki since November.”
Wamaua emphasized her commitment to President Ruto’s leadership, urging Kenyans to grant him the opportunity to fulfill his promises. She remarked, “Let me tell you, Mr. President, you are my good friend, and I want to say that besides some few mistakes, slipping is not falling.”
This political shift is significant, considering Wamaua’s previous close association with Gachagua. Her decision to align with President Ruto may influence the political dynamics in the Mount Kenya region as the 2027 elections approach.
President Ruto welcomed Wamaua’s support, acknowledging her as a hardworking leader. He humorously questioned her prior associations, stating, “Wamaua, truly this woman is hardworking. I was wondering what she was doing with people who cause division and don’t know how to work.”
This development underscores the evolving political landscape in Kenya. Highlighting the fluidity of alliances and the strategic moves by key players ahead of the next general election.
