Suna East MP Junet Mohamed has come out swinging, delivering a stinging rebuke to former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, who appears to be taking an unbothered victory lap even as his political fortunes dwindle. Gachagua, once a powerful figure at the heart of government, now finds himself isolated, bruised, and increasingly cornered by the very system he helped uphold. For Junet — who spent years under political pressure and intimidation during the Ruto-Gachagua era — this moment feels like long-overdue payback.
Speaking at a charged rally in Kisumu, Junet didn’t hold back. “The same man who once declared others irrelevant is now begging for relevance himself,” he declared, referencing Gachagua’s fall from grace with unmistakable satisfaction. Junet also hinted at the irony of Gachagua’s plight, noting how power can be fleeting and loyalty often disposable in Kenya’s ruthless political game. While some see his tone as vindication, others are warning that this might only be the calm before a much larger storm — one that could tear open old wounds and forge unexpected alliances.
As tensions rise, political watchers are asking the real question: is this moment just sweet justice for Junet Mohamed and the Azimio camp, or is it the prelude to a major political realignment? With Gachagua now playing the underdog card and murmurs of betrayal echoing through Kenya Kwanza, the stage is being set for what could be a new chapter in Kenya’s high-stakes power play. And if history is anything to go by — the storm is never far behind the silence.
