In a statement that quickly spread across social media platforms, Alinur alleged that Wamalwa could soon join the expanding political coalition surrounding the current administration.
The activist described the development as part of what critics often call the “broad-based regime,” a term used to refer to the government’s strategy of bringing leaders from different political backgrounds into its fold.
Although the claim has generated intense discussion online, Wamalwa has not publicly responded to the allegation.

His silence has fueled speculation among political observers about whether negotiations may be taking place behind the scenes or whether the remarks were simply political commentary.

Wamalwa has long been regarded as one of the influential leaders from Western Kenya, and any shift in his political alignment could have ripple effects across the region.
Supporters of the government have previously defended the broad-based approach, arguing that including leaders from across the political divide promotes national unity and strengthens inclusive governance.
However, critics view the strategy differently. Some opposition figures argue that bringing rival politicians into government roles weakens the opposition by reducing its ability to hold the administration accountable.
Wamalwa previously served as Cabinet Secretary for Defence during the administration of former President Uhuru Kenyatta and has remained active in national politics since leaving office.
Political analysts note that leaders across Kenya are increasingly repositioning themselves as the country moves closer to future electoral contests.
