Wamuthende made it clear that Embu County is ready to move on without their influence, signaling a growing impatience with old-guard politics in the region.
In a fiery statement shared online, Wamuthende told Kivuti and Muturi to “let this day be your final day in Mbeere politics” as residents seek fresh leadership.
The warning comes as former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s allies continue to paint ODM as a party in decline.
Hon Kanini Kega, who doubles as an EALA MP, reinforced the narrative by describing the opposition as “awaiting its final rites,” highlighting the shrinking influence of established opposition structures even in traditional strongholds.
Political analysts suggest that Embu County, like other parts of Mt Kenya, is moving decisively towards a new political era.
Voters are increasingly drawn to leaders who are active on the ground, visible in communities, and connected to the grassroots. Social media support alone, they warn, is not enough to sway the electorate.
Wamuthende’s message is also a clear signal to opposition heavyweights that their political capital is under threat. Analysts say such public warnings serve a dual purpose: consolidating local support while challenging competitors to either step aside or face diminishing relevance.
With by-elections already showing strong performances by UDA and emerging local leaders, the coming months in Embu will be crucial. Political observers believe that the county is signaling a decisive break from old loyalties, with residents demanding accountability, engagement, and tangible results.
As the political drama unfolds, one thing is clear: the voters in Embu are ready to chart their own course, and Wamuthende is leading the charge in redefining the county’s political landscape.
