Internal political friction within a ruling coalition can significantly impact national stability and the trajectory of future election cycles.
Muturi said the current political trajectory being pursued by Gachagua raises serious questions about his commitment to the collective presidential ambition of the Wantam movement. [ File, Standard] Former Attorney General Justin Muturi has hit at DCP's Rigathi Gachagua over what he termed political bullying, double-speak and self-sabotage. Muturi, who is the Democratic Party leader, said the current political trajectory being pursued by Gachagua raises serious questions about his commitment to the collective presidential ambition of the Wantam movement. In a strongly worded statement, Muturi wondered whether Gachagua's objective is to win the presidency or to control MPs, legislators and devolved units while sacrificing the bigger national ambition. "His persistent attempts to undermine established cooperation and his insistence on tripartite political arrangements risk creating the impression that he is preparing for post-election political bargaining rather than prioritising the ultimate prize: State House," said Muturi.
