NAIROBI, Kenya, Feb 13 \u2013 Githunguri MP Gathoni Wamuchomba has announced that she will not vie for any elective seat under the ruling UDA party ticket, citing betrayal.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Speaking on Wednesday, Wamuchomba insisted that regardless of the position she seeks in the future, the UDA party will not be an option for her.<\/p>\n

She accused the party leader, President William Ruto, of imposing excessive taxes and enforcing mandatory deductions on payslips without proper consultation.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was elected under the UDA party. I am not going to vie again under UDA. UDA has betrayed me. I did not campaign for President Ruto to abduct and kill my sons and daughters. I did not campaign and endorse my President to invade people\u2019s payslips and force them into serious mandatory deductions,\u201d Wamuchomba stated.<\/p>\n

She further explained that she is opposing Ruto and the Kenya Kwanza administration in Parliament because the President has failed to consult leaders who supported his campaign, including herself.<\/p>\n

Despite her dissatisfaction, she noted that she remains a member of UDA only because the party sponsored her election to Parliament.<\/p>\n

Wamuchomba said Kenyans must call out betrayal by political parties as leaders frequently turn against the electorate once in power.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s time we realize that these political parties are con games [and] am done with UDA regarding the next elections. I remain in UDA because it sponsored my seat in the National Assembly, but I do not support many of its policies, which have suppressed the economy and the livelihoods of Kenyan people,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Gachagua-led outfit <\/h2>\n

Her remarks come amid ongoing speculation about a potential political realignment, particularly in the Mt Kenya region, where former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has positioned himself as a key figure.<\/p>\n

The legislator, consistent at events organized by Gachagua, said she is still searching for a leader with a strong, people-centric vision.<\/p>\n

She hinted at the possibility of joining Gachagua\u2019s highly anticipated political party if it aligns with her principles and expectations.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have a different opinion when it comes to Wamunyoro. I will join whoever embraces my principles and expectations for the next government. If he comes in and tells me, \u2018I have this political vehicle that will deliver what I am fighting for,\u2019 I will be at liberty to make my decision. But as of now, I am watching,\u201d she stated.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
