In a powerful political statement that has reignited debate across Kenya,
Cabinet Secretary Opiyo Wandayi has urged citizens to rally behind President William Ruto.
As the country adjusts to life after the death of veteran opposition leader Raila Odinga.
Speaking during a development forum in Siaya County, Wandayi once one of Raila’s fiercest defenders praised Ruto for promoting stability and delivering key projects.
“Kenya cannot afford endless divisions. If the President succeeds, every Kenyan wins,” he said.
His remarks, first reported by Citizen Digital, have stirred reactions within ODM’s remnants.
With some viewing the gesture as pragmatic leadership while others accuse him of abandoning the movement Raila built.
Analysts say Wandayi’s new tone reflects a broader shift as Kenya’s political elite reposition themselves ahead of the 2027 election.
With alliances no longer defined by party loyalty but by survival and national interest.
As the post-Raila era unfolds, Wandayi’s endorsement of Ruto could mark the beginning of a historic realignment .
And the rise of a new generation seeking to bridge the gap between government and opposition.
