Machakos Deputy Governor Francis Mwangangi has thrown down the gauntlet to Wiper-elected leaders who have fraternized with State House, accusing them of betraying the soul of the Ukambani political movement. In an uncompromising speech delivered at Tseikuru during a Wiper leaders\u2019 convention, Mwangangi denounced their recent political pilgrimage to Nairobi as an affront to Kalonzo Musyoka and the community\u2019s aspirations. \u201cThose who seek personal gain at the expense of unity must be voted out,\u201d he stated. \u201cThey no longer represent our struggle.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The gathering, marked by a surge of political energy and symbolism, showcased Kalonzo Musyoka not as a regional figure, but as a presidential frontrunner. Mwangangi seized the moment to rally the Kamba community, declaring their support for Kalonzo non-negotiable. \u201cWe are not asking for favors. We are asserting our rightful place in this country\u2019s leadership,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd Kalonzo is the man to take us there.\u201d<\/p>\n

\\#OneNationOnePeople wasn\u2019t just a hashtag\u2014it was the banner under which the Wiper movement signaled its intent to realign, reorganize, and reclaim its influence ahead of the 2027 contest. Mwangangi\u2019s remarks served as a strategic signal to both friend and foe: align with the cause or be politically irrelevant. \u201cThe road to State House runs through unity, and we must not allow infiltration to dilute our resolve,\u201d he warned.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Reasserting Kalonzo\u2019s dominance in the region, Mwangangi reminded leaders that the former Vice President remains the singular political authority in Ukambani. \u201cWe cannot afford division when history is knocking,\u201d he said. \u201cLet us silence the noise, reject betrayal, and carry Kalonzo to State House\u2014not just for us, but for the nation.\u201d<\/p>\n
