Governor Mutula Kilonzo Jr. of Makueni County has categorically denied any intentions of abandoning the Wiper Democratic Movement for the United Democratic Alliance (UDA). Speaking to a gathering of local residents, Governor Mutula emphasized his unwavering loyalty to the Wiper Party and its leadership.
Governor Mutula addressed the issue head-on, responding to recent speculation that he might be considering a switch to the UDA. “They keep taking gossip up to Kalonzo that I have gone while I categorically stated I will never push a wheelbarrow,” he asserted, using a metaphorical reference to UDA’s symbol. “There is nothing further from the truth. I remain fully committed to the Wiper Party and its ideals.”
The governor’s statement comes at a pivotal moment, as the Wiper Party faces internal challenges within Makueni County. Reports of friction and division among the party’s local leadership have sparked concerns about the party’s unity and direction. In light of these issues, Mutula’s public reassurance aims to fortify his stance and clarify his political allegiance to his constituents and party members.
Mutula’s political competitors have been quick to capitalize on the uncertainty, spreading what the governor has labeled as misinformation. By addressing these rumors directly, Governor Mutula seeks to dispel any doubts about his political loyalty and discredit any misleading narratives perpetuated by his adversaries.
“I want to assure the residents of Makueni that I am here to stay with Wiper. Any communication suggesting otherwise is nothing but baseless propaganda from my political opponents,” Mutula declared, urging his supporters to remain steadfast and focused on the party’s mission and goals.
The governor’s commitment to Wiper and his vocal dismissal of the defection rumors come as a significant gesture to solidify the party’s base in Makueni. With political landscapes continually shifting, his affirmation of loyalty is expected to bolster confidence among Wiper supporters and mitigate the impact of the ongoing internal disputes.
As the political environment in Makueni County remains dynamic, Governor Mutula’s unequivocal stance serves as a reminder of his dedication to his constituents and his chosen political path within the Wiper Democratic Movement.
