In his post, Wahome listed a series of coordinated activities associated with the movement, including rallies held across major towns such as Mombasa, Kisii, and Kisumu, consistent sloganeering campaigns, late-night strategy meetings, and significant investments in branding and logistics nationwide.
He also referenced the movement’s spending on fuel, merchandise, and even international mobilization efforts.
Political analysts say Wambugu's intervention highlights growing divisions. While Gachagua and Kalonzo have publicly projected unity with joint appearances framing their alliance as a "Mt Kenya-Ukambani" power bloc insiders whisper of competing presidential ambitions. Recent by-election losses and internal debates over power-sharing have only fueled speculation.
President Ruto's camp has welcomed the apparent fracture. Allies of the Head of State have been intensifying outreach in Mt Kenya, with strategies outlined to reclaim at least 2 million votes through direct engagements and development promises.
Gachagua's team is yet to respond directly to Wambugu's claims, but the former DP has repeatedly insisted the opposition is focused on "renewing and healing the nation" through the ballot in August 2027, without naming a single flagbearer yet.
As the countdown to the polls intensifies, Wambugu's statement adds fresh drama to Kenya's volatile 2027 race, raising questions over whether the "Wantam" wave is a genuine anti-Ruto movement or a vehicle for individual presidential bids and whether Ruto could benefit from opposition infighting to secure a return to State House.
