Speaking to the media, Gachagua claimed that plans to undermine ODM began long before recent political developments. He warned that the upcoming National Delegates Conference (NDC), scheduled for Friday, could be the party’s “last supper” if the alleged scheme succeeds.
According to Gachagua, the government aims to weaken opposition parties, leaving fewer voices to challenge its policies.
Gachagua’s remarks suggest that he sees ODM’s increasing cooperation with the government as part of a larger strategy by Ruto to divide and weaken opposition forces ahead of the 2027 elections.
He said that opposition parties need to stay united and vigilant to protect their independence and the interests of their supporters.
“This is not just about one party. It is about protecting democracy in Kenya,” Gachagua said.
Political analysts note that such statements could heighten tensions as the NDC approaches, putting pressure on ODM leaders to respond publicly.
Some observers argue that Gachagua’s comments are aimed at mobilizing opposition supporters and warning them about perceived threats from the ruling government.
ODM leaders have yet to comment on the allegations, but the claims may trigger a fresh wave of debate about the role of opposition parties in Kenya and the importance of keeping political processes free from external interference.
As the political climate heats up ahead of 2027, Gachagua’s warning underscores the growing concern among opposition figures about government influence and the survival of key political parties.
