Democratic Action Party-Kenya (DAP-K) leader Eugene Wamalwa is set to issue a crucial statement on the state of the nation at 11 a.m. today from the party headquarters in Karen, Nairobi. The former Cabinet Secretary has recently sharpened his criticism of President William Ruto’s administration, accusing it of disregarding the sanctity of human life and failing to address the growing cries for justice across the country.
Wamalwa has hinted at the formation of a formidable political coalition aimed at challenging and potentially unseating Ruto in the 2027 General Election. He emphasized that the deteriorating socio-political climate requires decisive leadership and renewed unity among opposition forces.
