Ngunjiri Wambugu was not at a recent meeting at Gachagua’s home, and this has caused people to wonder if there is a problem between them.
Wambugu used to be a close friend of the former deputy president, but his absence stood out because the meeting included important political figures as they prepared for the upcoming 2027 elections.
People noticed he was missing, especially since Gachagua’s home has become an important place for political discussions.
There are now reports suggesting that Wambugu may have been quietly pushed away from Gachagua’s group.
A local leader named Councillor Njohi claims that Wambugu was removed because he was controlling access to events and running an illegal toll station without Gachagua knowledge.
Wambugu has not confirmed or denied these claims. Instead, he laughed and questioned if Gachagua really said those things about him. He mentioned that he had no reason to explain why he was absent and wished everyone at the event a good day.
He also wished Gachagua’s team success for 2027. While he responded calmly, the fact that he addressed the issue suggests that something might be wrong.
This situation happens at a time when political alliances are changing quickly. As the 2027 elections approach, groups are being reshuffled, and anyone not fully supportive could be left out.
Wambugu’s absence and the surrounding rumours indicate that there may be a serious problem. It is not clear if this issue is temporary or permanent, but it is clear that his role in Gachagua’s political plans has changed.
For now, Wambugu is keeping a low profile. However, in Kenyan politics, sometimes not speaking can say more than words.
